I've fought a few fiberglass boat fires as a firefighter. Seems like it is hard to put out. It seemed to retain a lot of heat, not unlike fryers. Also doesn't absorb water. Whereas wood goes out easily and retains moisture making re-ignition harder.
Doesn't answer your question but I think you are on the right track to ask the question. OHII seems light but I don't have anything solid to go on. I think I'd be thinking Group A plastic for starters. Did you look at FM guides, they sometimes have information on less common things in the general public but more common to them in their slice of the world.
