Original Note:
Many trees are adapted to surviving wildfires and benefit from these "fire regimes." However, many artificial structures are prone to catch flying embers (vents, roof composition, windows) which then find a vast abundance of fuels inside them to rapidly ignite. https://www.nationalforests.org/our-forests/your-national-forests-magazine/how-trees-survive-and-thrive-after-a-fire https://www.abc10.com/article/news/verify/trees-survive-fires-buildings-dont-explained/507-a3fac229-1fe1-4677-9976-392c72b15617 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=87hAnxuh1g8
