***What would cause a nail in wood to heat up and burn the wood around the nail?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Radiant heat. That’s also why even though the wind is blowing away from the house (at the end of the video), the house is starting to smoke and start to catch fire.

Radiant heat. might explain the nail heating burning the wood. Though it doesn't explain the plastic casing on the chain saw that is intact while right next to it metal melts and melts the glass.
I'm still trying to figure this out.
