The local news coverage talked about the care they had to use when dealing with the fire due to the high amount of magnesium in the bikes that were burning. Water + Burning metals = badness.

hehe.  But for the record, wood is not flammable.  It's combustible.

Although the fire was very close to a Ducati dealership.

In fact, there was an HD dealership on that corner too that is now closed. When I saw a fire there I thought maybe it was there.
