I'm fairly certain the buildings don't actually catch fire (no afterburn), the fire you see looks more like an internal failure from rocket being lobed onto it.

Always wondered how you had a pyromaniac with a flamethrower living in a wooden building, often with hay laying around.

But they still break.. Pyro can't set fire to houses or anything in them.. there must be some way ro explain this :D

Don't forget, the maps are all just covers for secret spy bases.

I wouldn't be surprised if everything was just sculpted concrete or something.

I love how windows don't even get a little crack when you shoot 4 rockets at them.

My theory has always been this: every time you see the administrator, she's always in her control room with cameras everywhere. and when youre playing, zoom out and view the skyboxes. these places theyre fighting in are in the MIDDLE OF NOWHERE. so i assume everything is set-up much akin to Portal. Which accounts for the synthetic buildings. also, the items (e.g. buckets, sheets of metal) laying around the maps dont move when you kick or shoot rockets at them, so i assume that they're glued or locked into the ground. just props. so possibly the engineer cant use them, as they arent made of functional metal?
