The Coffey Park fire in Santa Rosa destroyed many homes, yet many trees, including highly flammable eucalyptus and bay trees, remained largely unburned. The ground showed signs of intense heat, but the trees were unaffected, with only the bases charred. This suggests a unique fire behavior, where flames targeted structures rather than vegetation. Metal objects melted, indicating high temperatures, but trees showed no signs of external burning. Instead, some trees appeared to burn from the inside out, with heartwood cooked but leaves intact. The presence of white ash and the nature of the burns imply an unusual heat source, possibly microwave-based flames, rather than a typical wildfire.
