> From the recent events in California I have seen many photos of burnt houses with unburnt trees around.

I think some of that can be attributed to the fact that buildings are stationary structures that have ample square-footage for embers to land and cause fires, where as trees have less stationary surface area for embers to land, remain and build into fires.

also trees are wet inside, houses are not. fresh wood doesnt burn easily
