Yes some places trees were still in tact as well as houses next door. That’s nothing new. Fires get beat back by firefighters or has to do with wind, building materials or people stayed to save their home. In other places everything was gone and fallen burning trees were the reason for people getting trapped and dying. For instance one family with fire coming fast all took off. Some made it through but one couple had to turn back because a tree fell blocking the road. They went back and jumped in the pool. They even had to move around the pool due to the heat and stay under water only coming up for air. Due to the smoke and heat the man barely made it but his wife eventually died in his arms. Another girl tried to get out but traffic jam and fire was coming faster than traffic moving. She turned back got her motorcycle and used a Duffel back to put her 70Lb pit dog on the back drove away saving her dog too. A man in a truck eventually helped her as they were escaping the fire.
