Those are Ponderosa’s and they are fire resistant

Sequoia are resistant to fire as are redwoods to a certain extent. Ponderosas are green matchsticks.

Whether they are matchsticks or not, live trees do not burn very easily if the fire passes through quickly. And from the photos I just posted, many of the trees in Lahaina are dead. Maybe the banyan, too, many photos at link.
