I'm not kidding. A spark will do. Do you have any idea what the combustive environment is in hot weather among certain kinds of trees? Trees normally exude isoprenes, which are short chain hydrocarbons. One day in deep summer, I drove out to our mountains for sight-seeing and stopped by a river to get out and stretch my legs. It was a red warning status day. When I exited the car, it was like I was stepping into a can of turpentine, the exhalations were so strong. The air was close to being flammable. It became no mystery to me that forest fires are furious and leap from tree to tree. This is among conifers, normally used as kindling for fireplace fires. In Hawaii, I can't say.
