They have picture of Lytton that was destroyed by fire. Did anyone notice that the trees that were close to burnt houses still have green leaves? I know nothing about subject but it feels a bit strange how the leaves can survive when the houses are burning in such close proximity.
- mshron 5y agoAt least in California wildfires, houses often burn down from random hot embers landing on the roof, not necessarily a giant whoosh of flames engulfing everything. Could be the same here.

Sounds like a fire started in town and spread to everything flammable, as opposed to the town being engulfed in a forest fire. Trees may not have been dry enough to catch fire.
