smolder

“It’s still smoldering,” the hiker says from behind the camera.

It is unclear whether the smoldering depicted in the hiker’s video was on state land.

An attorney for the man charged with intentionally igniting a smoldering blaze that later became the deadly Palisades fire says the evidence against his client is thin and accused authorities of scapegoating him.

Aerial footage broadcast by US media showed smoldering debris at the factory in Hickman County, Tennessee, with charred and mangled vehicles strewn across the facility.

Embers can bury deep in tree roots and chaparral, become covered in heavy ash and continue to smolder until strong winds set them free.
