Yes, high winds, dry weather and when all else fails – blame “climate change” and fossil fuels as the cause of this catastrophe, but here’s a clue to what really caused this disaster – man and the stupidity of not controlling non-native grasses: “the spread of flammable non-native grasses such as Guinea grass in areas of former farmland and forest have created large amounts of small, easily ignited materials that increase the risk and severity of fire.
