contents We give lower and upper bounds on the burning number of Hamming graphs, Johnson graphs, and halved cube graphs. For the lower bounds, we use the fact that $1$-skeletons of the eigenpolytopes of these graphs are isomorphic to the original graphs. Then, we present a dynamic search algorithm performed on the eigenpolytope to find an unburned vertex. This idea was originally used by Alon (Discrete Appl.\ Math.,\ 1992), who determined the burning number of the hypercube graphs.
