For those of you who are not aware, there are documentaries about how impossible it was to escape and to fight the "Camp" fire in Paradise CA a few years back. Same dryness, same winds, same fast moving fire that caught people off guard. There's no way to fight such a fire.

This is what the LA neighborhoods are facing.

There is, and was, no lightning.
These massive LA County fires were caused by humans. Or a hostile bear dropping flint stones in various locations. If not accidental, we call that arson. Unless it was a bear. Then we call animal control.
Climate change and arson are not mutually exclusive. Especially if one has political motivation to start fires in California during a climate emergency.
It wouldn't be the first time someone stupidly started a brush fire. A teen playing with fireworks started one up here (in a tinder-dry location, of course). The problem I see with the LA County fires being an accident is that they are far apart. Even if the first one was accident or stupidity, what were the others? Given the distance between them and the general direction of the strong winds and gusts, not drifting embers.
There will be a lot of angry people when they get to that stage of grief. I hope authorities realize that and don't overreact. Ha. When have Los Angeles authorities ever overreacted? 🙄

CW: Mention of death
sadly, this photo from Maui #Lahaina is reminding me of the #ParadiseFire, where it was obvious that people were trying to escape -- but i am assuming that once confronted with a wall of flames, the road simply became a deathtrap.
