Because heat is a big factor in starting and keeping a fire. You have air, and fuel, and the heat is already factored in. The wood that is already there burning helps too because the fact that it is burning means that most of the wood is dry, and dry wood burns much faster than wet or damp wood. Plus, the dry burning wood dries out any new wood that is placed on top of it, making all of the wood dry, which is the same as stacking tinder, as it is already ready to be set ablaze.

How do vinyl garage doors compare to wood in the case of a fire?

Should a fire hit your garage, neither vinyl nor wood will offer any additional protection. Steel doors, on the otherhand, will not burn as easily or as quickly. Both will burn, however, wood is a longer burn and can help fuel the fire so that it will catch more of your home or garage on fire. Vinyl will catch on fire as well; however, once it melts the fire will rather go out rather quickly.
