This seems to be an abbreviated way of saying “our father’s houses.” The full expression “father’s house” or “house of the father” is used in 7:61. See how you translated it there, and review the note there if that would be helpful. Alternate translation: “taking turns by clan”

Burning is an abstract noun that describes how the wood these families agreed to bring to the temple would be used for fuel for the sacrifices offered on the altar. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate the idea behind it with a verb such as “burn.” You could also say who would do the action. Alternate translation: “for the Levites to burn”
