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.

There was absolutely nothing left of the metal roof of the barn to say nothing of the barn or its contents.
