Atypical Features of the California Forest Fires - Robert Brame

Robert Brame is a botanist who has investigated the aftermaths of 46 large fires in California. In almost all of them, he found the following irregularities that don't fit with natural causes:

1. The melting of glass and aluminum alloys (wheel rims) shows that the maximum temperatures are higher than in natural wildfires.

2. Whether a given object burns or melts depends on its material, but in a very unusual way:

a. Plastic objects do not burn or melt.

b. Objects made of metal either melt themselves, or they ignite combustible materials with which they are in direct contact. Examples are nails and screws in wooden fences and steel meshes in care tires. In remarkable contrast, tires reinforced with polymer fibers do not burn.

c. The plants or parts of plants that are normally the most easily ignited by flames are the least likely to burn in these anomalous fires. When trees do burn, it is usually from the inside out, and this most affects the trees that store the most water, e.g., willow trees, which are normally almost non-flammable.

3. Houses and cars are destroyed, as if they had been in an enormous firestorm. At the same time, however, trees on the same properties are left standing – dead, presumably from internal heating, but with green leaves on the outside. Similarly, metal-framed trailers are destroyed, but the wooden decks right next to them remain intact.
These observations indicate that

1. the fires do not spread by serial ignition of combustible material,

2. heat energy in these fires seems to originate primarily from metal objects and from the sap of water-rich plants, even though these are not combustible.
The collective evidence does not add up with natural causes or with conventional arson. An investigation into other non-natural causes (possibly directed energy weapons) is needed.
