Legal Eagle claims that embers can travel up to 2 miles: https://youtu.be/5h1H36rdprs?t=1m51s That would easily jump a 10' fire break. | ||

houses however, survived with much smaller fire breaks. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=yZe-TlYxm9g&pp=ygUkaG91c2VzIHR... especially for this fire, jumping doesnt mean that everything 2 miles down wind also burned down. buildings that far had the opportunity to burn, and if they dud, had the opportunity to burn their neighbors, and another 2 miles down. i imagine ember density is more interesting than distance? | ||
