actually, it doesn't! I was floored!

from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norwegian_Wood_(This_Bird_Has_Flown)
although it does say a citation is needed.

McCartney himself states the final line of the song indicates that the singer burned the home of the girl. As he explained:
"Peter Asher [brother of McCartney's then-girlfriend Jane Asher] had just done his room out in wood, and a lot of people were decorating their places in wood. Norwegian wood. It was pine, really, just cheap pine. But it's not as good a title, is it, "Cheap Pine"? It was a little parody, really, on those kind of girls who, when you'd get back to their flat, there would be a lot of Norwegian wood. It was completely imaginary from my point of view, but not from John's. It was based on an affair he had. She made him sleep in the bath and then, finally, in the last verse, I had this idea to set the Norwegian wood on fire as a revenge. She led him on and said, "You'd better sleep in the bath." And in our world, that meant the guy having some sort of revenge, so it meant burning the place down..."

 I'm willing to give at least 50/50 odds in that case that the fire was 
in a fireplace. The overall tone of the song is wistful and non-hostile.
