It's called "candleing" for fuck's sake. Hasn't anyone here fought fires? No? DEWs, holy shit.
Candling is a phenomenon that can occur during forest fires where the sap in trees gets heated by the fire and creates gas pressure inside the tree. This pressure causes the sap to shoot out of the bark, igniting into flames and creating the visual effect of "candles" along the trunk of the tree.
Some key points about candling:
The high temperature of the fire heats and thins the sap until the pressure causes it to burst out of the bark. The sap ignites as it mixes with the air.
It creates the appearance of candles flickering along the length of the tree, with flames shooting 1-6 feet out horizontally from the trunk.
The jets of flaming sap can persist for hours and tree candling is most visible at night.
Candling occurs in conifers like pine, fir, and spruce trees as their sap is more flammable. The effect is less common in deciduous trees.
The sap combustion weakens the tree and candling is often a precursor to the tree falling over or collapsing.
Candling trees in a forest fire signal high fire intensity and danger for firefighters. It also creates spot fires as the sap drops down.
So in summary, candling is a dramatic pyrotechnic effect of trees during intense wildfires that reveals the dangerous power and heat of the blaze. It results from pressurized sap exploding into flame.
Burnt on the inside.... that is what happens to trees hit by lightning too. But especially if the bolt just hits nearby; the charge runs through the ground and up the tree's insides. Edit: I can hardly believe I forgot to mention that one reason I know this is that I was sitting in a chair under a tree, and the ground took the bolt, got hit by lightning 15 ft away. The lightning traveled underground and up the tree. And went the opposite way into my house. Hug Elm tree smoked from the inside, outside basically undamaged. But my poor tree, it wept for a year afterwards and made the ground wet. It is ok now 5 years later.
Sorry dude, you're barking up the wrong tree. HAHA. But really, the only live/wet part of a tree is just under the outer bark. As a tree gets old, it often splits exposing the inner/dry heartwood that is not alive and not moving water up into the upper parts of the tree. This becomes infested with beetles etc., and after time becomes soft and porous. This makes wonderful fuel for a fire. It also acts like a chimney containing the heat. I fought fires with the US Forest Service as a Smokejumper for a number of years. Most of my time was spent scraping out the burning inner heartwood just like the picture you are showed above. Sorry. NOT microwave. Look around you and you will see the same thing in lots of trees. Please STOP these crazy theories without doing a little homework. See below.
Microwave energy agitates and heats up H2O molecules is my guess. My hypothesis is that the phone towers were used. Now, this is only an educated guess and I have no evidence. I wonder if anyone has investigated to see what transmitters were hung on those towers.

For the same reason your pop tart in the microwave does.
Take the foil off!
Sounds like you're speaking from experience.

That tree is a poor example, it has an open core most likely with rot and caught fire quickly.
Thsy is
