Mother Nature just stokes them. It is the insane firebugs that start the majority of them. I lived more than half my life in southern Cal, and can remember at least one good sized fire every year, and 95% of them were started by either crazy, or careless, people. My mother's house took on 300,000 in damage just a few years ago, in the San Bernardino fires, an had the majority of her neighbors loose everything. Pray for these people. The aftermath is devastating and takes a long time to get through.
