Is it true that building 7 collapsed due to fires?

Yes. NIST's WTC 7 FAQ states the fires initiated the building's collapse and that it would have collapsed in similar fires even without debris damage. A Skeptics StackExchange answer likewise attributes the collapse solely to fires, and a fire-engineering paper lists WTC 7 among fire-collapsed buildings.
