Too many skips! It doesn't add up!
What do you think the skips mean?
If the fire was a natural fire, coming from one direction and moving towards one direction, everything in its path would be wiped out. What you're seeing in that video is not one fire moving in a single path. What you're seeing is multiple fires originating from each property one by one. Why? Because the trees are standing. Some people will say the trees are there because of their sap. I don't buy that. If the fire was as hot as it looks by all the destruction, those trees full of sap or not, would be gone.
I agree that it seems nefarious but we first need to ascertain that the skipped houses were made of the same material as the ones burnt to a crisp. Old dry wood that has had the sun beating on it for years burns a lot faster than houses made or poured cement, And yes, the wealthy are more likely to make their houses out of materials less likely to burn.
See photo by u/retardmonkey above, I found that on google earth and a burned house next to an unburned house, and they are both recently built as part of a wide area development (i.e. they are the same construction). Totally impossible.
What about tornados that wreak havoc in small towns leaving random buildings intact surrounded by rubble?
A intense fire whipped by circling unpredictable winds is going to have unpredictable results. I think folks have gone off the deep end.
The trees should've burned up. They are not fireproof. Each property that was destroyed by fire still has its trees. That is not natural and I mean that literally.
