I’ll go with Occam’s razor in this case. The woke electric company neglects basic maintenance because focusing on unreliable wind and solar are much more woke. Naturally occurring high winds from the trades knock down power lines (poor maintenance) and dried underbrush which should not be there (poor maintenance) resulting in electrical shorts that quickly burn and grow. Fanned by the high winds and unmaintained dry underbrush everywhere and you have an inferno out of control.
Although I don't doubt the evil intentions of the Government/Deep State, your scenario is the one I believe. Gross incompetence, is most likely the cause of this disaster. Aided by slavishly following the 'Green god', and ignoring the basics that need to be done to maintain the existing infrastructure.
But since the Government can never admit fault, they'll blame anything else (like the global warming myth). And their water carrying media will allow them to dodge the difficult questions.

That’s how I’m looking at it, as well.
Too logical, I’m going with the crazy guy and the DEW.
You are correct. Add the fact the insanity of cutting off the water.
I do not believe that there was arson A couple of videos show power lines on the ground and igniting the dry plant life. However the reactions of the authorities lead me to believe that all was prepared for such an event and probably for any of several other possible natural events in order to make use of a crisis to empty desirable land to get he developers in who had already likely paid some sort of continuing charge in order to be notified and ready to jump in. The expressed attitudes of the water control and the power people was on the order of let it burn, there are more important things in play.
