No. Every possibility is being investigated, and the government has

Cool. The government can collect damages from itself.

Nope. It is private companies.

 What we do here is insanely bad forest management that builds
incredible fuel loads.

Fuel-reduction burns don't stop forest fires. We do lots a of them in Australia. They can make forest fires less disastrous than they might have been, but in a dry season pretty much everything can burn

So when a fire explodes, government conjectures
an ignition source and sues some private party. Unless it was
lightning; it's hard to sue God.

And mostly it is lightning.

When unemployed people are cold and hungry in the dark, they may
reconsider voting Green.

Stopping digging up fossil carbon isn't going to condemn anybody to cold or hunger, even the climate change denial propaganda machine likes to complain that it will.
