The first buildings were burned from the inside out. No continuous fuels burning from the outside. None of the exterior paint is charred.
The vehicles can burn down like those are but an ember is hard pressed to start a vehicle fire. And there’s not a lot of fuel that will create embers that will be moved by winds as in a wildland fire. Embers in a big wildland fire can blow over a mile. It can then smolder and start a building fire days after it lands.
