Identification of the type of tree affected is important and can easily be done. There are two types of trees found this area. These are deciduous and evergreen. Deciduous trees are the broadleaf trees that loose their leaves in the fall. Any tree that has bee weakened by fire may be a hazard.
Winds are normaly responsible for toppling weakened trees.
The wind patterns in your area may have changed as a result of the loss of adjacent tree cover. Check for burns on the tree trunk. If the bark on the trunk of the tree has been burned off or scorched by very high temperatures completely around the tree's circumference, the tree will not survive. The bark of the tree provides protection to the cambium layer during a fire. Bark thickness varies based upon the size and species of the tree, so check carefully to see if the fire or heat penetrated the bark.
