Yes. We see that a lot. We had 60-80 mph winds on our fire. All the posts burned. It depends a lot on the posts, type of wood, age, how much flammable material is around them, etc.
Its like my forge; I start at about 15 psi and its burning around 1500 degrees. As it warms, I can go down to 10, maybe 8 psi and the temp will get up around 1800 to a little under 2000. If I put a blower on the forge, I can get down to 2 psi and upwards of 2200-2400 degrees.
The same thing is happening in a wind. With a preheat and a good wind, you dont need much fuel to get really hot.
The night of our fire, I had moved tires and propane tanks about 75 feet away from the barn into an open gravel area. When the barn caught, it was hot enough that it burned the tires and cooked off the propane. There was absolutely nothing left of the metal roof of the barn to say nothing of the barn or its contents.
