Looking at these photos, conspirators find it all too easy to make the massive causal jump from wildfires to government-controlled Direct Energy Weapons (DEW) – think of a big laser that can focus energy on a specific target. Of course, how logical!

But the reality is there is zero evidence to suggest such a weapon exists outside of science fiction. Nevertheless, online conspirators like ODD T.V. firmly believe the recent wildfires defy the laws of physics, and they see DEW as a perfectly sound explanation.

We won't bother debunking that particular absurd theory - but why were the houses burnt and not the surrounding foliage in those photos? We turned to science for answers.
