[QUOTE="SoonerP226, post: 2501948, member: 26737"] Oaks and elms will go, but not like the cedars; those things go up so fast it's amazing that they don't explode. I remember watching coverage of a fire between Norman and Noble a few years ago; I was familiar with place, and had a good sense of scale. I'll never forget one particular tree; it was about 10-15 feet tall, but when the fire hit it, it was like someone had poured gasoline on the fire--the flames suddenly jumped up a good 50 feet in the air above the tree. I always wondered about that 'til someone pointed out that they're essentially wicks full of turpentine. They sure look like it when they catch alight... [/QUOTE]
