Re: California "wild fires".

Anyone else noticing that the fires are getting hot enough to melt aluminum and bend steel, but aren't taking out trees 3 feet away?

Check out the pics. And, if you want to go down another rabbit hole, check out the pics from the great fires in the 1890s-1910 or so, and compare.

I just thought it interesting, and noticed the same thing in Gatlinburg when they had their fire. Carry on.
