What it means

A house in Madīnah was burnt one night, and the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) heard about it. So, he informed people that this fire is their enemy if they do not take precautions against its flames and burning effect. Then, he ordered them to put it out before sleeping so as to avoid its outbreak.
