With the 50 to 70 mph winds it created a blast furnace effect with temps easily reaching2700 degrees Fahrenheit
With that being the case of temps that extreme there is no way in hell that trees could survive and not be burned.
Cellulose fires (wood for primary fuel) Cannot reach 2700 Degrees F.
Regardless of the winds.
Nat Gas could do that but that would be limited to leak areas.
Its funny watching people spout off about something I did for 40 years.
In 17 states and on over 50 national forests.
In that setting not all the trees are going to burn.
If you get some closer pics one oddity that will show is needles being bent with the wind and killed from the heat but not burnt.
No oxygen means no consumption even though the heat is there.
Gusts of wind from a burning home will have no O2 to support combustion but the needles from pine and fir will be sculpted in the direction the wind took them.
They'll fall off later and those trees may well be dead.
Because agree still has needles on it doesn't mean its alive.
Some of the trees appearance could be what is fooling you guys.
