The winds are blowing the flames across the surface. They are not arising from the surface. You have to think in terms of what the combustion is. The fuel is solid material from plants and possibly dust. (Sawdust or grain dust can produce terrible fires.) The wind is blowing plenty of dust. So the burning particles are blown across the street by the wind. The redness of the flames indicates that it is carbonaceous material and the fuel/air ratio is higher than it would be in quiet air, where there would be normal draft. This is an example of the capricious nature of forest fires and urban fires generally.
