Anyone venture to explain how it is that houses are burned down to their foundation, cars are burned empty shells in the streets, but the nearby trees still have their leaves.

That is pretty weird. Here is an example of what you are saying. Check ot the plastic garbage carts. I doubt that they were brought there for 'clean up'.

Perhaps this can help.

Notice how the burnt part of the tree trunk only reaches up about 12 feet ? It seems the fire kept to the ground where the most flammable items were.

Here are some of the most flammable items.

Amazing that there is SO MUCH greenery left on those trees!!
