Let’s see, no defensible space, trees/bushes right up to/overhanging the building, looks like some of the trees are/were eucalyptus (oily torches), no roof top sprinklers or water tank, and the list goes on. Note the house in the upper left has a lawn (defensible space), tile roof and probably stucco walls and is still standing.

Yet I’ve also seen houses with the recommended precautions burn too. The fire, fuel, terrain, and wind ALL have a hand in it.
Sicne it was a "forest fire" why did the house burn but no trees?

I think what you are missing is that none of the foilage outside the property shows any fire damage.

So the question is, did he set the fire himself for insurance purposes or because he wanted to start new?

Already addressed and I still have doubts. Unfortunately one picture may be worth a thousand words, but still doesn’t tell the WHOLE story.

My original comments were geared more towards Fire Resistant property than what May have happened.
 
Due to the risk of oxygen toxicity, a diver can only safely scuba dive to a very shallow depth when breathing 100% oxygen, typically around 13 feet (3.9 meters), as exceeding this depth can lead to seizures from central nervous system oxygen toxicity.

From DAN:​

The safest practice is to pay attention to the partial pressure and the amount of exposure time. To lower your risk of CNS oxygen toxicity, consider the following recommendations.

PREVENTION:
  • The U.S. Navy uses 1.3 ATA as the maximum limit in its closed-circuit rebreathers. Very long exposures, however, may put the diver at risk for some lung toxicity symptoms.
  • The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) recommends a more conservative 180 minutes at 1.3 ATA for normal exposures and 240 minutes only for exceptional exposures.
  • The Professional Association of Diving Instructors (PADI) has proposed a limit of 1.4 ATA for open-circuit nitrox scuba diving. Because open-circuit scuba diving would not expose divers to this level continuously, it should be at least as safe as the Navy limit for continuous exposures.
  • Shallow exposure times in the 1.3 to 1.4 ATA range are mainly to avoid lung oxygen toxicity. The likelihood of CNS toxicity at these levels is very low and probably not much different over this range.
  • The Navy allows an exercising exposure at 1.7 ATA for up to four hours, but that assumes breathing 100 percent oxygen at 25 feet (7.6 meters) by trained combat swimmers. A depth excursion of only 5 feet (1.5 meters) puts a diver in a range where convulsions have occurred. Divers who tend to retain carbon dioxide during exercise may be at increased risk.
  • The NOAA limit for nitrox diving at 1.6 ATA is 45 minutes for normal diving and 120 minutes for exceptional exposure diving.
  • Breathing 100 percent oxygen during a decompression stop at 20 feet (6.1 meters) is a common practice. At this depth, the partial pressure will be about 1.6 ATA. Under resting conditions at that depth, the chance of CNS oxygen toxicity should be very low but is not absent.

Oxygen Partial Pressure Ranges​

For open-circuit scuba, the “green light” region is any oxygen partial pressure of 1.4 ATA or less (about 82 feet or 25 meters on a 40 percent oxygen mix). If you don’t exceed this level, the other limitations of open-circuit scuba diving will limit your exposure time to lengths where CNS oxygen toxicity is unlikely.

Between 1.4 and 1.6 ATA (99 feet or 30 meters on a 40 percent mix) is the “yellow light” region. The possibility of oxygen toxicity at 1.6 ATA is low, but the margin of error is very slim compared to 1.4 ATA. Individual variation, an unplanned depth excursion that causes an increase in oxygen partial pressure, and the possibility of having to perform strenuous exercise in an emergency raise the possibility of oxygen toxicity to levels where you should exercise caution. Levels of 1.5 to 1.6 ATA should be only for conditions where you are entirely at rest, such as during decompression. The dive team must still prepare for the possibility of an oxygen convulsion at these levels.

Above 1.6 ATA is the “red light” area. Recreational divers should not exceed this level. Even mild exercise may put divers breathing high-density nitrox mixes at increased risk. Open-circuit scuba divers can achieve durations likely to get them into trouble at these levels. Diving using these high partial pressures of oxygen should be for trained professionals who can weigh the risks and benefits and have the necessary training and support structure in place if an oxygen convulsion occurs.
