Robert Brame, Forensic Arborist.
Out of all these aftermaths, these 43, there are perhaps 3 or 4 were natural occuring fires that we know of that I might have seen in the High Sierra. In 50 years backpacking the whole Sierra at all the elevations, maybe I've seen one forest fire and it never chased us out of the mountains. Now, they shut down the Pacific Crest Trail, they close huge areas, and burn up to a million acres statewide. Every year it's the same thing. So it piqued my interest 7 years ago when I saw some pictures of Santa Rosa, and they didn't make sense to me. My background is studying all wildflowers, ferns, shrubs, vines, and trees, and mostly natives but in the last 33 years everything imported to California I've learned a great deal of plants. That's what I've always done.
02:10. I like to start with this photo because people are wondering what a real forest fire looks like. People in the city have no clue. This is common for a horrific firestorm. This is what's left. They all look like this. There's nothing left. Perhaps this was a year or two before because the plant life is growing back already, but it burns the twigs, the needles, the branches, even the trees will burn down sometimes to a low stump or even a hole in the ground. This is what a common one looks like to me. Not like this one. This was the big 2017 Coffey Park Fire in Santa Rosa, CA where 4700 homes were turned to white ash. Incidentally, when I get to these locations, it's rare that I find any blackened wood normal house fires. Put them out, there's always a degree of black and carbon, but here, no. I've been to a lot of aftermaths now and none of them had a house that had any . . . well it was almost all white. Rare to find black.
03:30. Why is that, why is everything reduced to white ash?
03:32. Well I'm going to have to say it's because of the extreme heat, but that's my educated guess. It's a different kind of flame. To me, these are microwave-based flames; it's in that arena. I don't know the composition of these flames, but they don't work very well in organic material. The organic material dries out, and turns a light shade of green, maybe even brown, but it never really burns up like a normal forest fire unless it's in really close proximity to any metal or water, like a creek repairing corridors. I've noticed those trees will be decimated also. And I believe that's just the water is a conduit for these electrical weaponry for lack of a better term. I mean here is Santa Rosa. This was a firestorm. They told the public the fire was moving eight or nine football fields a minute, and look at the trees. Why aren't they missing along with the houses? Many of these are the pine family relatives. Eucalyptus against that road there, or whatever that is, against those are eucalyptus back there the round ones. Those are so flammable that a cigarette lighter in your hand can light those on fire, a green leaf, light them right on fire. And I've not seen that in all the aftermaths, I don't find eucalyptus trees burned up.
04:52. Is that why in Maui the boats, is that why you think all the boats burned on the water?
04:57. Yes, whoever is directing these weapons, they might go to the right or left, farther than they need to or whatever. That's what I believe got the boats. I don't believe flying ashes went out there and lit these boats on fire. I believe there's a lot of metals on the boats, and that's actually what was combusting, the reaction the microwave technology has on the metals, whether they're Ferris or not I don't believe their flying embers story at all. This is another one of Coffey Park, and take a good look, show me the burned trees. Show me the forest fire. Incidentally, most news channels are deleting the word "forest." Now, they just call them "wildfires." But this is the first one I ever saw in 7 years. The first thing I saw is why are these trees like this? I was going to hike up there in one of the hills, and this came up on my Google Images. I showed my brother, we talked about it. Nothing made sense, so I went up there 2 months later and my eyes fell out of my head. Nothing was normal. I was up there 8 hours for a good year. . . . In the next 6 months or a year, I finally found a video where somebody saw what I did. That's John Lord, the fire captain, and Matt Dakin. They analyzed Paradise three different times and did five videos with Shelly. All three are friends of mine now. Sadly, we lost John Lord about 2 years ago, two great people. Together they have 60 combined years of fire service, both fire captains, and that was 7 years ago.
06:47. So I started studying materials. What are the melting points of all these materials? And I saw auto glass approximately melts out at 2500°, and that's to start melting. To actually flow like this and go down on the street or inside the car perhaps it goes up higher too 2,700°. I'm not sure. The two fire captains told me in their combined 60 years that they've never ever seen a window melt out. Incidentally, every fire I've been to, in all these 120 trips, not one window has been intact. Every single one has melted out. No exceptions. Same with the aluminum rims or Alloy rims they melt out at 1221° and perhaps at more to flow down the street.
Paradise, CA had 10 mobile home parks. All 10 parks burned up.
