Can someone help me with this -
I’ve been looking at videos & drone footage of some neighborhoods hit by the fire.
1. How are the streets so bare and passable? Shouldn’t there be debris all over?
2. How can trees be standing (the whole tree, not just a burned trunk), some still with leaves or pine cones (hard to tell from the pics) surrounded by housing that is burned to the ground? Shouldn’t they have burned up completely as well?
Pine and cedar trees have fire resistant bark. If it’s just a grass fire it is unlikely that it will do more than scorch the bark.
Houses however are not fire resistant.
