Because it is too hot and dry and there is too much accumulated fuel?
I think you mean what started it. They haven’t said. It is usually days or weeks before they do. All of the recent fires have been vehicles, hot water heater. mowing, etc. The last several days has been 100 plus. The humidity is in mid single digits. That whole area has really been waiting for this.
Given that info, no one needed to even ‘set’ a fire.

Too many land owners don’t mow their weeds/green growth until they are warned by the local fire safety officials in late May to mow their land. Then they wait until summer or later to mow their land. The mowers or tractors hit a rock causing sparks and a fire.
We had a rectum do that three years in a row and cause some serious problems. This year apparently some neighbors told him the next fire he caused, he would be in a wiener roast.
He mowed while it was still green and no fire.
