Lane County OR is on fire too. https://www.msn.com/en-us/weather/topstories/bedrock-fire-continues-to-burn-in-lane-county-level-2-and-3-evacuations-remain-in-place/ar-AA1fjyUs
Strange how hot summers lead to dry windy conditions and forest fires. That never happened before DEW.. Oh, wait. Here's August 14, 1933. Must have been aliens. https://www.oregonencyclopedia.org/articles/tillamook_burn/
Right. And with an estimated 84%-85% of wildfires started by humans the likelihood of spontaneous combustion is…?
“Must have been aliens” - because there’s only aliens/DEWS and natural causes? Oh, wait, no possibility there were arsonists or even irresponsible campers in 1933?
I’m not saying there aren’t occurrences of lightning strikes or other natural causes for fires to start, but to discount human-error or arson seems statistically unlikely. Yes, I’d like to believe that “People wouldn’t do such things”, but that would be unrealistic.

Humans cause most fires, one way or another, about 70%. I'm snarking at the inevitable crop of comments on every natural disaster that it was malevolent forces with advanced weaponry. However, I find it equally improbable that all the human caused fires are from the deep state sending out antifa squads. Probably chronic firebugs cause a few, and most are stupidity, like not clearing brush under power lines, throwing cigarette butts out of a car, storing flammables in the sun. My favorite is a ditzy dame who started a terrible fire here because she went out with a guy here who took her out in the desert, they "had a quarrel," probably "put out or walk," he drove off and left her, she had nothing but her cigarettes and a lighter, and decided to signal for help by starting a fire. Stupid from start to end. And, at this time of year, there are really are more fires caused by lightning because the spring grass is dry and now thunderstorms are beginning.
PS if you read my reference the big burn was caused by loggers. Not spontaneous combustion. No firefighting planes to stop it like now. Those loggers weren't really happy to burn down their livelihood.
I couldn’t open your Oregon link before, got it now. While I don’t doubt DEWs exist I’m not a huge proponent of them zapping fires into existence, picking particular homes to spare, etc. As far as Maui goes, however, I am leaning heavily towards the cause being arson if for no other reason than last year, in May, they nabbed a couple-few arsonists who had started six fires on the island. If those beasts aren’t part of the rabid leftist thug squad I’d be damn surprised. These recent Maui fires? I’m not a betting man, but if I were it would be leftist-marxist arson thugs.
If their names are known, it ought to be possible to find their associations. Even on a fairly big island, people get known pretty fast.
