Was there any disease or infestation that may have stopped at the line of live trees that you saw?

Most of the trees that burned were Ponderosa pines with some aspen thrown in. As for disease/infestation I can't say, there was not an apparent problem but I didn't take samples either. The destruction was pretty much total, but you would find places with little damage surrounded by areas with major damage. Several homes were lost, none were high priced, most were aluminum siding types with either a wood or occasional tin roof. In some areas the home was left but the forest all around it was gone, in others only a small part of the forest was burned but the home was gone. Some of course was total destruction.
