You are correct. I am watching it right now. Trees all around. Leaves still on them all. And in the middle of the trees smoking rubble. someone hit someone Quoting: Anonymous Coward 75676862 This is not uncommon. Homes can burn when the forest around them doesn't. One example I recall was the 2000 Los Alamos fire. What is going on here is that many of the trees next to homes are getting enough moisture from lawns etc that their live fuel moisture is good. The homes are dry because of roofs and they don't have a root system sucking up moisture. However, the forests nearby are tinder dry. No one is watering them and they are burning hot and fast. So the trees/brush away from homes is toast. LOOK AT EACH FUEL and its location. Full disclosure. I had a forty year wild land fire career.
