It was magic .... it was god's power .... it was a story ... it never happened. Your choice.

The burning bush was in the desert at the top of a cliff.

(Subjected therefore to wind storms and fine particles of sand flying around)

From Wikipedia's article on St Elmo's Fire:

"Physically, St. Elmo's fire is a bright blue or violet glow, appearing like fire in some circumstances, from tall, sharply pointed structures such as lightning rods, masts, spires and chimneys, and on aircraft wings. St. Elmo's fire can also appear on leaves, grass, and even at the tips of cattle horns.[3] Often accompanying the glow is a distinct hissing or buzzing sound."

Therefore, in my opinion, it is safe to assume the burning bush that burned without burning up was subject to the phenomena known as St. Elmo's Fire.

What was the sign that God first used to attract Moses attention?

The burning bush that was not consumed by the fire was used by God to attract Moses's attention.

Thus, in Exodus 3:3, "Moses said, 'I must turn aside now and see this marvelous sight, why the bush is not burned up.'"
