I know the area where the 2 biggest fires started very well, Palisades and Eaton, I have lived her for 64 years. There is absolutely NOTHING for Miles and miles from where these fires started. It is way to far off the beaten path for them to be homeless camps, Miles Uphill and far from civilization where they could congregate and panhandle for their drugs. I do not believe it was a miraculous case of spontaneous combustion from the ice cold winds. I firmly believe every last one was intentionally set, why, well your guess is as good as mine. But they DID NOT START ACCIDENTALLY.
What about somebody with a homemade meth lab in the boonies?
Those can easily cause fires.
