I ran into this problem too, my cow got himself nuked into oblivion by the casters. But using my Winterhoof Emblem called him out again, and I was able to turn in all 3 quests that I had. Note: The Winterhoof Brave makes a great decoy if you want to AOE the mobs in Skorn. Fly around and let him agro a bunch of mobs (he runs on the ground if you're flying), then swoop in and kill em all :D
U have to be Inside the house before u can burn it...

Description
Chieftain Ashtotem ordered me to destroy many buildings here. However, you are in charge, so it falls to your hands, {name}. I suggest that we burn down the two longhouses and the barracks that are in the lower area of Skorn. All we have to do is get inside each and set them ablaze with this torch.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Gruesome, But Necessary
Our elders say that these vrykul may be able to rise from the dead; not unlike the walking dead you call the Scourge, but a different kind of undeath. We should not take any chances. Here, take my machete. As we move through this place, carve up the remains of the vrykul that we slay.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Towers of Certain Doom
As we move through Skorn, we must destroy the towers. If you have a look at them, you'll notice that their tops are lined with casters. Getting too close to them would mean certain doom. However, we can call in wind rider air strikes from Camp Winterhoof.
