incinerates
Destroys by fire
Incinerates means burns something completely, reducing it to ashes.
The word typically describes deliberate destruction by fire—waste incinerators burn garbage, and documents are incinerated to prevent recovery.
Figuratively, to incinerate can mean to destroy utterly: The critic's review incinerated any hope for the film's success.
