#nostr Is there anyone who can explain how homes in Los Angeles were burnt to ash while the trees remain standing & have leaves?

You've never heard of the asbestos tree, native to California🤔.

I guess bricks and metal roofs can incinerate but magic trees, those are safe.

y'all are ignorant and have just never seen a real fire before.

the brick and tile and metal is still there, on the ground.

stop trying to fit everything into your pet conspiracy.

I have luckily never seen a fire like that.. isn’t metal reinforcement supposed to be sticking out vertically? What is burning down between all the bricks ?

not sure what you're looking at exactly.

this picture looks like a huge wind-driven fire. its not unusual to have trees and small aluminum structures left over.

I'm not a super expert or anything but Ive been on volunteer fire departments

Tree are like mostly water

So are bricks and metal roofs/shingle roofs. Trees burn easier.

Trees have a high water content and the trees native to dry areas that have experienced fires for millions of years are forest fire adapted to survive. Just like how it takes longer to catch fresh cut wood on fire in a fire place/pit vs old dry wood. The houses are made of old dry wood with tons of fiat shit that burns easily inside.

Yeah, it’s probably all the moisture in the trees.

Anyone who’s ever tried to start a camp fire or whatnot with fresh wood knows how resistant wood can be to burning if it hasn’t been seasoned and dried.

Not. Wildfires.

Roots.

Fiat/American architecture? I’ve never been there but I’ve heard bricks and concrete are non existing there 🤷🏼‍♀️

Maybe also wind has smth to do with tearing down structures?
