How do firemen know the cause of a fire after everything has burnt down?

Often times you hear about the cause of a fire being a cigarette for example. However, isn’t the cigarette already long gone after the house/forrest/etc. has burnt down? How is it still possible find out what started the fire?

It is a mixture of looking out for spots with the greatest burn damages then isolating the activity that was happening in the area. But as someone rightfully say, it is more of isolating the one with the highest probability of starting the fire.

Also it usually does get harder to isolate the cause when the fire pretty much burns everything.
