I thought the idea was that the trees burned and that forced everything in between to burn as well. In these fires, only the parts in between burned. It was hot enough to melt alloy wheels. Might that have been hot enough to dry out the trees? One even burned from the inside.
Green wood doesn't readily burn. That's why firewood is left to dry for a year or is from a dead tree.
So why did we have forest fires at all, then?
