Wildfire scientists brace for hotter, more flammable future as Paradise lies in ashes

A statue stands amid the ruins of a home destroyed by the Camp Fire in Paradise, California.
Every man-made thing that burned, burned all the way.
That is the powerful first impression driving into Paradise after America's deadliest wildfire in 100 years.
There are a few scorched-but-recognizable husks of gas stations or curio shops but most of the 14,000 homes that caught an ember burned with such blowtorch intensity, only railings and the fireplace remain.
Windows and car parts melted, hardening into bizarre puddles of glass and aluminum along a main drag where entire blocks of stores are gone.
