That kind of thing happened in the Oakland hills fire in '91 too. We had
friends who were in a little cluster of undamaged homes and there were
several examples like that. When I was looking for a new roof shortly
thereafter, one salesman's favorite selling tool was a close-up aerial
view of a single undamaged house in the midst of complete devastation,
hardly a charred stick left standing anywhere around it. I ended up buy
that kind, mostly for structural reasons, but that picture sure didn't hurt.

I saw an aerial image of one neighborhood where everything was ashes except
for one lone home... It looked completely intact. Scary.
