Hearing a lot about the wildfires. Nothing about how they started.
You know how a hurricane starts. You see it forming and coming. Wildfires, whether natural or man-made, just happen.
Personally, I’d bet some of this year’s bumper crop were intentionally man-made.
Some of the really big ones this year have been man caused but not intentional.
The huge fires up north near Santa Rosa were started by sparking PGE power lines during very strong dry winds, whatever they call their Santa Anas up there.
The Canyon Fire in OC was caused by a CalTrans road flare on the 91 freeway. And a week or two later it flared up again as the Canyon 2 Fire during another Santa Ana- tree roots can harbor embers for a long time and you can’t see them.
My suspicion, as well. For generations, these ELF, Earth First, Antifa types have been setting fires, in an effort to get attention. I’d guess a lot of them start just this way.
