The proposition that radiant heat generated by one burning would set off
an adjacent house is pretty dumb. Fire codes are written to make sure
that houses aren't vulnerable in that way.

 In that case, what spread the fire?

Burning embers have been known to do the job. In high wind, more massive burning chunks of vegetation or debris can spread a fire pretty effectively.
In Australian bush fires, some people chose to stay and defend their property. It can work, but it can also be a fatal mistake.
