In bushfire conditions, trees can explode, I think from the liquids inside boiling catastrophically. The volatiles then get released as a flammable gas, which as soon as it gets enough oxygen, will also explode.

These trees explode twice.

Last winter I went to a camping mini-festival (about 40 people) in a state forest in Victoria. About the third thing we did was to get two tonnes of Redgum and Yellow box firewood delivered. We were only there three nights! Three toasty warm, well lit nights!
