Original Note:
Live trees hold water in them, which helps them stay alive in the case of a fire. Vehicles have gasoline in them which acts as an active accelerant. Due to this, the vehicle burns while the trees maintain their appearance. https://www.reuters.com/article/fact-check/in-wake-of-maui-fires-heres-why-some-trees-survive-damage-idUSL1N3A327F/
