***Quick search for a palm tree fire.
Note how fast that tree lit up. This one must have been scary

That looked like a Windmill Palm that caught fire (shape of the leaves and duff around the trunk) https://www.plantingtree.com/blogs/gardening/windmill-palm-tree-for-sale

Coconut Palms are a little different - smooth trunks, most of the easily burnable stuff is near the top. https://www.fast-growing-trees.com/products/coconut-palm-tree?variant=13940849016884

The murder of Prigozhin - an explosive device on the plane was planted in the landing gear compartment of the plane

According to preliminary information, it was in the area of the landing gear that an explosion occurred in the air, as a result of which the wing came off.

This wing collided with the stabilizer, after which the business jet abruptly began to climb and then went into a tailspin.

Due to the explosion and depressurization, all on board instantly lost consciousness, which prevented the pilots from reporting the emergency.

In the video, the tail element. He was found three and a half kilometers from the crash site.

my point holds. Palm trees have a lot of oil in them and burn very good. If you notice in the google maps. The black areas are exactly where the trees where. If you have a palm tree make sure its a long way from any structure.
Again. The shut the water off and allowed the city to burn. Though palm trees are great fuel for the fire.

The problem with palm trees is they catch at the top, like a match, but the embers blow all over from a great height. There was a section of Anaheim that burned to a crisp because the streets were lined with tall coconut palms.
