Anyone want to guess if the umbrellas were upwind or downwind of the fire?

Well, since the wood near the umbrellas is also intact and isn't blue, I'll take Upwind for $500.

Nah its gotta be the blue colour, not one Smurf was killed either.

What is even more incredible is that most of the surviving structures had metal roofs. Many of them red. Space lasers are more afraid of red metal roofs than they are of blue umbrellas.

Would like to know the manufacturer of those umbrellas. See what they are made of and if they are fire/flame resistant.

Probably made from the same material as cheap fire starters

I can't reliably identify a charred Smurf.

Looks just like a badly cooked marshmallow, but bigger... and blue!

Nah you don't charr them, they should be served Bleu
