This could be 100% wrong but I've heard a lot of the recent major wildfires become massive because of large fuel loads.
Many of the communities in California refuse to allow controlled burns that would decrease fuel loads due to concerns of pollution and stuff. So they are living around what's pretty much a tinder box

It’s hard to do control burns here because of the Santa Ana winds. It’s too much of a risk.
Speaking of, winds near my house are just starting to get stronger. Going to be a long night north in LA.

They do prescribed burns in Cali but the time frame to do them safely is short.... 2 to 3 weeks a year. And doing burns around developed areas takes a lot of manpower which often isn't available. The problem this year is Cali got a lot of rain earlier this year which caused a lot of plant growth which is now fuel. Add in that the Santa Anna winds this year have been some of the strongest on record and its a recipe for hades.

Haven’t the wildfires been happening forever though? Long before we settled there?
