Clearing brush is a huge issue in California.

I think politics/nimbyism affecting brush clearing is a way more likely contributing factor than arson.

Obviously not at the Biden level, more at the local commissioner level.

That's one of the reasons misinformation becomes successful - it tends to have a grain of truth buried deep in the BS that makes it seem more plausible.
