Most cameras will bias the exposure to limit over-exposure of the brightest portion of the scene (put someone in front of a window and then take a photo to see what I mean).

But with fires, typically you'll get a lot of yellow (as the red channel in the camera saturates, but the exposure is set with the expectation of a more even colour temperature). Inside where the ambient light is shielded by the majority of the cabin - it will appear very dark unless cabin lighting is on to balance the shot.

In essence, what you're seeing is under-exposure of the cabin and over-exposure of the flames.
