Not surprising. This year's fires in CA were mostly caused by a very rare dry lightning event. They happen around here about every 30 years or so. There's not much else that can cause them, other then human activity. Most seem to be caused by downed electrical wires, with many also caused by camp fires or fire works. The solution is simple: PG&E should do something about their power lines. Everyone else just needs to not be so stupid. Okay, maybe the solution is not so simple, after all.
