NFPA 921 and dead animals?

Case 1. A fire in a chicken farming warehouse causes extensive destruction to the building. The majority of chicken carcases are found piled up in a corner opposite the portable (and extensively damaged) electric heater.
Case 2. A fire in a vacant and un-powered house has the area of origin in the open plan lounge room. In the corner opposite the couch is a dead snake.
Should NFPA 921 list the position of dead animals as potential 'fire pattern indicators'?
