I did not notice what appears to be molten aluminum. Think it was the wheels, what else could it be? Aluminum cylinder heads, intake, transmissions, suspension parts on the front of the van, more and more aluminum being used these days. With that intense of a fire I am surprised the tree isn’t toast.

Okay, someone will have to explain this to me. To me, it looks like the car was on the road, being driven, and then abandoned. Wouldn't it have been quicker to simply drive in whatever direction was safest? I mean, the stop sign doesn't even looked singed. Wouldn't the heat alone be enough to do damage 100 feet away? That pic was taken with a high power telephoto lens from a long distance. That flattens out the depth of field in the photo. That stop sign could be a couple miles beyond the burned cars.

And to me, it looks like the road runner and the van impacted eachother. The fender by headlight area looks pushed up from side. Right?

Another pic from a different perspective.look at the 2 firefighters in this pic. They are behind the car and van, behind the burned down house, behind a distant street of burned out cars, but yet are the same size as they would be off they were in the forground. That pic is very ft flattened. There is no real perception of distance.

Advantage of living where I do in ND. There are no trees.

People will park/roll their cars in the street during a fire. The house and greenery around the house are combustible. The street has less combustibles. Sometimes works.
But in the picture of the RoadRunner/GTX, it looks like the whole neighborhood went up. So the overall heat and flame travel can't be avoided.
