I know that fire can free someone from the Web spell. What about the Entangle spell? I have someone trapped in the Entangle spell, but that person is spamming Burning Hands to try to burn a path to freedom. They insist that if a 2nd level spell like Web can be burned through, then a 1st level spell like Entangle should be even easier. However, Entangle doesn't have any text about being burned away, whereas Web does.
What do you guys think?
Cobwebs tend to be easier to burn than green vegetation.

Web specifies it can be burned away, Entangle doesn't.
So no.

As I understand it, you'd have to completely obliterate the vegetation such that there was nothing left for entangle to use; otherwise, the remaining vegetation would continue to grow and tangle around everyone in the spell's area. A fireball might be sufficient so long as we aren't talking about entire tree branches or thick, wet jungle vines. Burning hands probably wouldn't be enough unless we're just talking about tall grass. This is a pretty GM-fiat area since we're talking about nebulously defined noncreature objects and since there's already some debate as to how entangle works in various situations.
Agree with blahpers. It’s the sort of spell interaction that’d be cool for a GM to play with but the rules would become unwieldy if they covered every logical interaction between two spells.
Personally, I’d probably let it give a +2 to checks against the burnt entangle, but officially there is no interesting interaction.
