    "burned up" means consumed. "burned down" means left in rubble. so a house burns down, but if it got hit with an A bomb,it would be burned up.

    why do you ask? only hypothetical ? yes ofcourse a house burns upwards as high as it can possibly go,however that dosen't mean the lower part is totally safe ,all it needs is a spark or smouldring object falling through to set it alight to.
