Let's name the picture with no fire damage as picture #1 ("pre-fire" or "lower picture") and lets say that picture #2 ("post-fire" or "upper picture") shows the structures that were damaged by the fire.
In picture #1 (lower picture) the author highlights in red the structures in their original state before the fire and picture #2 shows the current state of this section of the town.
The point is: how can a "natural, wild fire" select which houses to burn and which structures to avoid...
Good drone video taken 10th August.

Reconcile MSM narrative: “hurricaine winds”, “mismanaged grass and bush”, “climate change” against the very selective burning. Note the plastic playground, the green gas bullet tank, and explain how the fires jumped in to burn only selected houses. Note the lack of wind damage to any property that was not burned. Lack of heat damage to adjacent buildings.
Best guess is that those three large trees in the center “park-like” section ignited and embers were blown onto adjacent roofs. Same in the upper right corner. Depending on direction of the wind, etc. perhaps a few homes near those trees were spared.
So a few years ago I served on a planning commission in Colorado and we dealt with a lot of wildfire issues. I've attended multiple seminars about fire prevention. I've seen pictures of other burned neighborhoods that look just like this. One home spared, one just like it gone. What I learned is that the fire spreads through burning embers lifted into the air and then dropping to the ground. If they land on a flammable surface the fire spreads. The single best defense is to minimize these horizontal flammable surfaces. Wood decks, bark mulch in landscaping, even patio furniture. Anything an ember can ignite. I can't tell you what happened here but I can say it's not uncommon.
The ring of buildings with the destroyed sections had a firebreak of parking lot around it. The two ends of the ring of buildings didn't burn, although the trees and bushes between the burned sides did. As if the hot wind blew sparks over the break, across the middle section, and set the buildings and bushes in that path on fire. Maybe the green space had sprinklers that had been running and made the ends cooler or damper? It looks rather greener and lusher in the "before" picture than some parts of Lahaina, which is on the dry side of the island.

This guy has some good first hand info

Help me understand the significance of the red boxing please.
Those were destroyed by the fire. Top pic is after the fire. Bottom shows what the neighborhood looked like (all were same build).
I see it now...thanks for the reply.
I know one thing from all of this - I would never allow a smart meter on my home, but I don't know yet 'how' to avoid them.
I think homes were selected for destruction.

Not uncommon, since 9/11 we’ve seen similar fires. I expect started the same way. This is the new normal of fires.

Solar panels protect from fire?
