Things that grow in California must get harvested or will burn. It's

When people put out small fires, as we have done for over a century
now, we add to the fuel load for giant firestorms. Blame Smokey The
Bear.

And why do people build insanely flammible houses, right next to other

because it would be very hard to ignite, and because we keep the

 Quite. Be very intersting to see how Pacific Pallisades and its
neighbouring suburbs look in a few years' time from now. I suspect the
area will be far less verdant!
Here's another uncomfortable fact for our Democrat supporters to chew
on: seems the worst fire was started by an illegal immigrant from
Mexico with a blowlamp and the 'Kenneth' fire was - again - set by
another illegal alien. We're constantly told these people enrich our
culture, but that's hard to swallow when you take a look at all those
square miles of ruins and ashes.

 Explain *that* away, Bill.

Why bother. When the vegetation is tinder-dry and the weather is windy it's very easy to start a wildfire, and the cops know that they are expected to find a careless illegal immigrant that they can blame for it.
Lightning strikes seem to be responsible for starting most forest fires, but politicians do like to have people to blame.
