Some trees are way better than others with fire. In the western part of the country we have Jeffrey Pines [1]. They have branches that start really high up and their bark is super thick so they are considered fire resistant trees - highly fire resistant as adults. "Jeffrey pine's ability to shed burning bark scales as a means to reduce fire damage has received mention in the literature, and firefighters have reported observing fires extinguished by shedding bark scales" [2] [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinus_jeffreyi https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinus_jeffreyi [2] https://www.fs.fed.us/database/feis/plants/tree/pinjef/all.html https://www.fs.fed.us/database/feis/plants/tree/pinjef/all.h...
