You clearly still do not understand the situation. These fires evolve into plasma storms. Embers jump over a mile in front of the flame front. What works in Alabama will not work here. When fires reach 2000 degrees the drapes catch on fire instantly inside the house from the radiation.

During the fires in NM in 2000, the temperature as one came over a ridge was measured at 2500 F. When the area cooled there were holes in the ground that branched off in all directions. It was where large ponderosa pines had had their roots burned to nothingness.

In droughts in NM, the trees have 6% moisture content, kiln dried lumber at Home Depot is nearly double that.
