Embers, little Molotov Cocktails, carried by 50 + mile an hour hot dry winds.
In Santa Rosa the fire jumped 6 lanes of freeway, with median and pull-over lanes and frontage roads on both side.
Makes foolish 100 foot cleared "defensible" zones, especially when the power goes off taking your well with it.
Those ember bombs can't be new, but they have been the driving force behind the destruction of nearly ten towns in the past three years in Northern California.
