The IR camera is measuring skin temperature, not fire temperature in the building.

very true..while I do beleive thermite may have been used this bit of ''evidence'' is kinda very debunkable and not very accurate like said above..When I first read this i went and found my IR thermometer,and lit a ciggarette...The flame from the lighter was 162 F. and cherry was 530F. so take stuff like this with a huge grain of salt..
With cigarettes the situation was quite dif
ferent. No essential differences could be noted
among the various brands of cigarette studied
(Groups a-/). The highest temperature recorded,
812°C., was in a Turkish cigarette. The maximal
temperature at the tip was always somewhat low
er. In a thin cigarette with a paper mouthpiece,
the highest temperature, 786°C., was recorded at
the base. Temperature in the combustion zone
was, on the average, 650°C.
