Slight fires because they were localized, didn't affect the building beyond their immediate range, and didn't burn anywhere near hot and long enough to affect the structural integrity of the majority of the building below the impact zones.
Seriously, where do this from?

They weren't slight fires. These were massive fireballs triggered by tens of thousands of gallons of high octane jet fuel burning up an inexhaustible supply of office supplies, paperwork, furniture, and everything else used in a city of fifty thousand people - all neatly confined in a small, space, all conveniently fanned by winds found one hundred floors up against ground level.

The fires weren't localized. At the moment of impact huge fireballs traveled down elevator shafts to multiple sky lobbies, and down to the lobby and basement. Fireballs and burning debris exited the towers and set fire to other buildings.

How in the world do you come up with "slight localized fires". Massive fireballs powered by jet fuel that hits a dozen floors and other buildings nearly instantly is not "slight" or "localized".
