#CampFire video on Skyway this morning.
It sure looks weird.
Not sure, but there is definitely evidence of fire. No one is actually suggesting that burned items were carted in are they? But it is a question that makes me scratch my head because I don’t have an answer. You would think that there would be burned trees, and a lot of them.
the houses burned match exactly with the planned path of the highspeed rail.
You tube shows that houses were destroyed while trees are still green. The whole thing looks like DEW and certainly not a “Camp Fire”.
There are different species of trees and some may have root systems so deep they can stay moisturized, avoid a drought, and survive a lower brush fire. - Tom
That happened at Gatlinburg, TN as well. People were accusing the NPS of burning houses selectively after evacuation. Not saying I agree with this accusation, but it was the case at the time. Undamaged trees, even rhododendron, but houses burnt to the ground.
Trees retain moisture much longer than brush does. Look up 1000 hr. fuels vs 1 hr, 10 hr, 100 hr. It’s entirely possible for underbrush to burn, which can ignite objects on the ground.
They were pine trees. They will burn without much trouble.
“the houses burned match exactly with the planned path of the highspeed rail.”
There is absolutely no high speed rail planned to go anywhere near Paradise or Malibu.
The area of the Camp Fire is a largely conservative voting population too, isn’t it?
I’m a firefighter, BTW. Have had extensive training in this. I wouldn’t get worked up about energy beams from space.
The same thing happened between Calistoga and Santa Rosa, CA last year. Houses burned down, and trees around them survived relatively unscathed.
I have in-laws who were direct witnesses to the burning, and it was most certainly a wind-blown wildfire, not some directed energy weapon bovine excrement.

I've seen a lot of house fires, and even more forest fires. Not sure how there could be such total destruction of structures sitting in a paved parking area and greenery still green, or how melted aluminum can flow for many feet beyond the point of melting, unless air temperature is well above 1,200 F. Tires seem to be missing their steel belts/cords. Dry vegetation can be seen near totally destroyed homes. Aluminum car rims TOTALLY melted!
In the video, there is a shot of a small utility trailer with what looks like rock/gravel, sitting in a driveway, with the trailer tongue and axel sagging from heat. That just doesn't seem possible for steel to be heated to that degree with so little fuel available.
In other shots, there are homes and cars totally destroyed while plastic trashcans, hardly damaged, seen in close proximity.
Wind blown fire can do strange things, but I've never seen such anomalies due to normal forest/automobile/structural fires. Maybe high winds caused homes to act like directed blow torches, is the only explanation I can come up with.
Lot’s of odd things in that fire. Looks like in many places it never drowned out.
It was the first thing I saw.
Shake roofs?
You just lost your security clearance to the skunk works projects by revealing the secret fuel of the directed energy weapon.
