No, it is not normal.
Normal is like the fires at Cobb/Bottle Rock.
No vegetation left unburned is normal. Vegetation burned but buildings still standing is way more normal.
You’re inventing as you go.

I'm not inventing anything. You have yet to dispute any facts (numbered above), except for one second per wheel, then you switched to capacitors. You ignore the total energy needed and the duty cycle problem. Thus I had to respond. Not inventing, merely responding to your shifting arguments. It takes 20 seconds with 2.5MW (50 tons) to melt 20 wheels. If you charge a capacitor in order to use a 0.25 MW generator instead, then it will take 200 seconds to melt the 20 wheels since the capacitor will need to charge for 10 seconds between each wheel target.
You have not disputed the numerous natural fire whirl images. But now you are insisting that trees burn more easiy than stick built houses. Not particularly my line, but you are incorrect.
The problem in Paradise, Napa valley and other fires was an ember storm. Houses burned rather easily in ember storms whereas live trees do not. Trees outside of town burned to create embers, and in some cases completely as you point out. In other cases, not completely as you seem to be ignoring. Here's the result of the ember storm in Oakland in 1991:
