wood construction can be more fire resilient that steel. If the insulation around steel beams is lost, the steel will rapidly loose strength far below its melting point, while wood has to slowly burn in from the outside to lose strength.
Obviously a monolithic concrete structure will have higher fire resistance yet, but wood isn’t nearly as bad as you think it is.
