So the fire originated IN the ventalation fan or was caused by not turning it on? Faulty electric fan or dirty greasy grimy non-cleaned vent?

I would tend toward saying it was due to the couple passing out before making sure the fan/burners were turned OFF not ON. If they would have checked before they went to bed guess what.....no fire.
