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?

Interviews help. Talk to their friends and family members. “Yeah, Joe would get shitfaced every Saturday night and fall asleep with a cigarette in his mouth. Once he lit my couch on fire but I put it out.”
Combine with any evidence left or other interviews and you can often build a picture of things.
Also in most urban and suburban areas fire departments tend to be fairly close so if they get called to a fire the places rarely fully burn down and some evidence is preserved.
