Just read about a group of cypress trees that survived a forest fire in Valencia, Spain. Here's a copy of an article:
"THIRTY international experts are to fly in later this month to try to discover why some green, healthy cypress trees survived a fire. A fire that devastated around 20,000 hectares (49,500 acres) of woodland around the Valencia town of Andilla in July, mysteriously left a clump of 946 Cypress trees virtually unscathed, while surrounding pine, oak, holm, juniper and gorse trees were destroyed, according to Spain's leading daily El Pais".

How effective is fire-resistant wood treatment in protecting against fire damage?
Fire-resistant wood treatment can be effective in reducing the risk of fire damage by slowing down the spread of flames and increasing the amount of time before the wood ignites. However, it is important to note that no treatment can make wood completely fireproof. It is still important to follow proper fire safety measures and building codes to minimize the risk of fire damage.
What are the benefits of using fire-resistant wood coating for protecting wooden structures from fire damage?
Fire-resistant wood coating provides a protective barrier that can delay the spread of fire on wooden structures, reducing the risk of damage and increasing the safety of occupants. This coating can also help to prevent the wood from igniting and can slow down the rate at which flames spread, giving more time for evacuation and firefighting efforts. Additionally, fire-resistant wood coating can enhance the overall durability and longevity of the wooden structure by protecting it from heat and flames.
