Amazing how trees are so resistant to fire there.
Hub who was a wildland firefighter looked at all the photos. There is nothing unusual about the trees. Most all appear burned and dead. The fire swept through very fast. And in wildfires trees never or rarely burn to the ground, they just burn, die and stand there.
Engine blocks melted into the gutter in one of his shots!
