> 2) Nuclear strikes to some specific areas, California during a fire season, might create a firestorm that covers a large percentage of the state and burns everything down in just few hours.
How would this be different from California burning by itself every year? Is this a difference of speed of burn or something?

This interaction will increase the burning rates (forests and bushes burn more thoroughly, there is more heat and higher flames. It creates whole new local climate that throws shoot into the atmosphere. 2009 Black Saturday bushfires in Australia had some firestorms.
