DEW CLUES – TIRES — In DEW attacks, “it’s one or the other; there’s never a melted or partially-burned tire; they’re just missing with the steel belts left laying there.”

Forensic Arborist Robert Brame describes some of the hallmark damage and evidence remaining after DEW attacks.  He claims to have visited in 115 trips a total of 40 wildfire sites and found 37 were strongly evidenced as having been DEW attack sites.

All polyester tires survive, even on ground baked black from the microwaves.  Remember, in microwave oven, plastics and rubbers are safe.

However, steel-belted tires are always totally consumed, leaving behind only their steel belts.
