I watched this video last night. It is very strange that a fire started in that field. Unless, the fire was higher up the mountain and the winds blew an ember down and landed there.

The fact that the aluminum wheel and glass melted in the fire is curious. How hot do car fires(plastic, tires, upholstery) fires get in temperature? Wouldd they be hot enough to melt the glass and aluminum ?

Yes, gasoline burns at 3550 degrees. but it only takes a flame to ignite it and now because of ethanol and cheapness gas tanks are all plastic so they melt and start to leak quickly.

Not only that, but notice how no ground outside of that lot was burned. It’s like someone took a stencil and cut out the part they wanted burned and left the rest intact. So weird.

I wondered if it was an EV hybrid with a battery.
