If you want to blame anything then blame the environmentalists who convinced the state of California to stop making fire breaks and stop doing controlled burns. And blame idiots like Gavin Newsom who would rather force electrical companies to waste money on wind and solar than fix ancient transformers and power lines that have been around since before the 1950's. That may not be the cause of the Pacific Palisades fire but faulty electrical lines and equipment cause more fires than all other causes of fires.
