I couldn’t tell you what each of the over 9k destroyed buildings was made of, but I can tell you that even if the bricks were standing afterwards, the inside would still burn. The heat of the building beside it burning plus embers on the roof (does everyone have a tin or tile roof where you live?) are enough to send it up in the right conditions. This church even had a tile roof and it didn’t save it:
Yup. I live in the northeast US where a lot of old buildings are brick. Only the exterior is brick, the interior beams and floors and everything are all wood. It’s not uncommon to see a brick building that burned years ago, completely empty inside with just the brick exterior still standing.
