No they don't, please don't make stuff up.

Burning or Incinerating things is not the same as Destruction.

Destruction is the power to unmake or disintegrate anything.

They have never been shown or even mentioned to destroy anything else with their appearance other then people around them, there is no mention of structures collapsing, lands being destroyed, or anything along those lines.

The only thing they have ever destroyed with their appearance is other people or lesser beings who are not equal to god.

Also the purpose of the seraphim is not to burn anything with cleansing fire, but rather to be a representation of the divine light and purity of god.

Seriously, thats the entire purpose of the seraphim, the blinding appearance is secondary to their true role.

"In lore, Seraphs are a type of Angel that are known for continually worshiping and praising God, which they do day and night. Their form is burning and fiery, and has six enormous feathered wings, two covering their face, and two covering their feet, and two with which they fly. Seraphs are claimed to be so powerful and holy, that any human that looks upon them in their true form will die."

this is the literal role and purpose of the seraph's existence. Nothing more and nothing less.
