I watched this earlier did a little searching. According to the Utah government, the most intense wildfires burn at up to 1200 degrees Celsius. Aluminum melts slightly above 1200 (edit: aluminum melts at 1200 Fahrenheit, not Celsius. Thanks @inquimous for the correction). Glass melts around 1600 Celsius. So how the fuck did a small grass fire melt windshields, aluminum wheels and engine blocks? I thought, perhaps a car burning could produce enough heat to do this, but found a test that was done which burned 2 vehicles and the highest recorded temperature was 900 Celsius.

Like most disasters in recent memory, nothing they are telling us makes any sense.
