A quote from the New World Encyclopedia:

"Williams (2002) reports that Blue gum eucalyptus are called "gasoline trees" by firefighters, stating "Blue gum eucalyptus doesn't just burn, it explodes, sending firebrands and seeds shooting hundreds of feet in all directions. Living next to one of these trees is like living next to a fireworks factory staffed by chain-smokers." He further observed that introduced eucalyptus trees blocked drains, tore up pavement, and damaged foundations."

Blue gums were one of the reasons for the severity of the Oakland Hills Fire, but some like them.
