Trees Burning From Within

► 00:00:06
Starting after the Paradise Fire of 2018, many with a memory started noticing things that didn't seem normal.
► 00:00:13
And the media told us climate change.
► 00:00:17
With over 40 years of experience, forensic arborist Robert Brom has been investigating the damage from these suspicious fires since paradise.
► 00:00:26
Based on his evidence, these fires are being caused by some sort of directed energy weapon.
► 00:00:33
As many of us suspected, the trees in these recent forest fires are not burning as they should be.
► 00:00:40
This is common for a horrific firestorm.
► 00:00:43
This is what's left.
► 00:00:44
They all look like this.
► 00:00:45
There's nothing left.
► 00:00:46
The twigs, the needles, the branches, even the trees will burn down sometimes to a low stump or even a hole in the ground.
► 00:00:52
Not like this one.
► 00:00:54
This was the big coffee park fire in Santa Rosa, where 4,700 homes were turned to white ash.
► 00:01:01
And look at the trees.
► 00:01:03
Why aren't they missing along with the houses?
► 00:01:06
Many of these are pine family relatives.
► 00:01:09
Eucalyptus against that road there or whatever that is against the road.
► 00:01:12
Those are eucalyptus back there, the round ones.
► 00:01:14
Those are so flammable.
► 00:01:17
A cigarette lighter in your hand can light those on fire.
► 00:01:19
A green leaf, light them right on fire.
► 00:01:21
The forest is primarily a valley oak, blue oak, and California Bay, which is a very combustible leaf.
► 00:01:28
I can light them on fire again with a cigarette lighter.
► 00:01:30
They didn't burn.
► 00:01:31
There's a bay tree right there.
► 00:01:32
The bottoms will always be burned right at ground level.
► 00:01:35
No reason for that.
► 00:01:35
Grass couldn't do that.
► 00:01:36
Uh-uh.
► 00:01:37
It'll take a lot of flames to do that.
► 00:01:39
No, they're being cooked right where they're at.
► 00:01:41
This was an entire bay forest, and I couldn't find one leaf burned.
► 00:01:45
And somehow the leaves turned black.
► 00:01:47
You notice the bottoms of these little suckers here.
► 00:01:49
They're black.
► 00:01:50
Almost every tree here is a bay.
► 00:01:52
They didn't burn, but the ground did.
► 00:01:54
It's only a grass fire here.
► 00:01:56
You can tell this was just grass, and it might have even been kept up.
► 00:01:59
I don't see one burned tree.
► 00:02:00
There's ponderosa pine, black oak, white oak.
► 00:02:04
Well, there's a Diodar cedar to the left there a little bit.
► 00:02:08
That's pine family from the Himalayas.
► 00:02:10
And a digger pine on the left, the big multi-branched one.
► 00:02:13
Nothing wanted to burn that day, just the house.
► 00:02:16
Ponderosa pine forest.
► 00:02:18
Little short ones and everything where the flames are in the needles.
► 00:02:21
They refuse to ignite.
► 00:02:23
Here's your eucalyptus.
► 00:02:24
It's down in the flames.
► 00:02:25
Refuse to burn.
► 00:02:26
Upper foothill or lower pine belt here.
► 00:02:29
Very flammable areas.
► 00:02:30
And no, they're not burning.
► 00:02:32
And look in the background.
► 00:02:33
Chunks of metal everywhere.
► 00:02:35
The physics of a natural fire does not explain the way aluminum and glass have been melting.
► 00:02:42
The two fire captains told me in their combined 60 years, they've never, ever seen a window melt out.
► 00:02:48
Incidentally, every fire I've been to, all these 120 trips, not one window has been intact.
► 00:02:54
Every single one has melted out.
► 00:02:56
No exceptions.
► 00:02:58
There's your aluminum.
► 00:02:59
What's melting it this far away?
► 00:03:02
What's keeping it flowing?
► 00:03:03
These things will flow 20 or 30 feet from a car when there's nothing on the ground to keep them melting.
► 00:03:10
That's a high temperature, but they keep flowing right across the dirt.
► 00:03:15
The fires are breaking out in the metallic materials.
► 00:03:19
Here's a fence line.
► 00:03:19
They all look like this.
► 00:03:21
Burn at the nails, burn at the ground.
► 00:03:23
The only place they burn is at the ground and wherever the metals were.
► 00:03:26
What fire does that?
► 00:03:26
A normal fire would burn the post from the bottom up, not skip spots.
► 00:03:30
You know, they favor the metals, of course.
► 00:03:32
This is a tall post, perhaps five or six feet high, and way up high, high level, just the nail area burned.
► 00:03:38
Here's this board.
► 00:03:39
What really burned?
► 00:03:40
The nails on that board.
► 00:03:42
This little guardrail is a park guardrail, and actually it's all wood.
► 00:03:44
There's no metal here.
► 00:03:46
The cross member, the long ones, and the post are all wood.
► 00:03:50
And each one was burned like this, where the screws were.
► 00:03:53
And trees are burning from the inside out.
► 00:03:57
Many trees are cooking from the inside out.
► 00:04:00
They're burned on the inside, and there's no hole to get a flame in there.
► 00:04:03
This thing was about four feet in diameter in a spring, burned from the inside out, and not one leaf burned.
► 00:04:09
When you look at the cuts, this is very important.
► 00:04:11
These are 90% dead.
► 00:04:14
They should not have that heartwood.
► 00:04:15
The dark, dark areas, the heartwood.
► 00:04:17
It shows me these things were cooked from the inside out.
► 00:04:20
There are many anomalies to be found in these fires.
► 00:04:23
And here's a soil bag.
► 00:04:24
It still had soil in it.
► 00:04:26
That was there.
► 00:04:26
The tennis shoe was there.
► 00:04:28
And you see the black.
► 00:04:29
There's black everywhere.
► 00:04:30
A cushion for your chair.
► 00:04:31
I see this chainsaw in the back of this pickup truck.
► 00:04:34
The window melted out at 2,500 degrees.
► 00:04:37
All the tires burned completely, leaving the slinky-like steel belts.
► 00:04:42
That plastic should be gone completely down to the metals.
► 00:04:45
Didn't happen.
► 00:04:46
There's so much white ash in some of these photos.
► 00:04:49
It looks like the heat would have been really intense.
► 00:04:52
However, it didn't reach very far.
► 00:04:54
Why is that?
► 00:04:54
Why is everything reduced to white ash versus?
► 00:04:57
Well, I'm going to have to say it's because of the extreme heat.
► 00:05:01
It's a different kind of flame.
► 00:05:03
To me, these are microwave-based flames.
