That's why will lie and say it was fireworks. It wasn't incompetence of the leaders but the negligence of the citizenry. Time to ban explosives, fireworks and flammable fun.
No BBQs, they start fires and cause global warming.

These are the iconic and beloved landmarks impacted by the Los Angeles wildfires (on AccuWeather)
I checked out at least 2 of those locations in Google Maps to see them as they were pre-fire. The hardware store on the list was made of bricks, yet was somehow destroyed by fire anyway. The church had some kind of stucco walls on. Both were surrounded by vegetation.
And being LA, the church had a sign up front about rejecting "racism" and embracing "diversity", and also near the hardware store was some other place with that Clown World flag (the one that combines "POC", "transgender", and LGBTQETC++) proudly in the front window.

They take many decades to reach maturity, more tham enough time to research them and the general climate of Australia. Even then you've had a century to remove them. At this point its on the government and people to remove them.

I just hear the DEI female fire fighter in my head going "Shouldn't have got in a fire!" and smiling with the cerebral palsy kids.
I hope that bitch burns alive.
It's the latter.
Many small straws of incompetence combining together in such mass that it finally breaks the camels back.

Bricks just make a structure into a kiln. Roof structures are almost always flammable, and most housefires are caused by embers falling from the sky.
Here's a photo of a brick house that burned in Cali back in 2021.

And now for some nice karma: someone dressed up as a firefighter was caught burglarizing a home in Malibu and was arrested.
That said, if we didn't have politicians that treat the population like retarded babies it'd be best if LA set up spaces where people could set off consumer-grade fireworks safely (with safeguards in place just in case any blazes pop up) and enjoy the pretty lights and explosions.
...but then I realized that we're talking about California and it's completely within the realm of possibility.
Good riddance if you ask me, it's just a shame that he'll get out in 48 hours and leave jail with a lollipop in hand.
I'd honestly chalk it up to both parties, your average Californian Joe more than likely doesn't know shit about proper firework handling, the leaders' incompetence regarding proper wildland management led to a situation where the absolute worse happened, and LA's environment is where a botched fireworks show can do serious damage even with proper safeguards in place. Also, it doesn't help that fireworks are already illegal in LA for several years.

I'd say that we're entering a level of hyperbole that's too retarded to be possible...

Newsom Suspends State Environmental Rules for Rebuilding After Fires

Governor Gavin Newsom has signed a broad executive order that aims to make it easier to rebuild after the fires by suspending California’s costly and time-consuming environmental review process for homeowners and businesses whose property was damaged or destroyed.
The order is likely to be the first of several permit streamlining measures issued by state, county and city agencies in the wake of the devastating fires across greater Los Angeles.
Mr. Newsom's three-page order, signed Sunday, covers all of Los Angeles and Ventura Counties and directs state agencies to coordinate with local governments to remove or expedite permitting and approval processes during rebuilding. The most significant piece is a waiver on permitting requirements under the California Environmental Quality Act — a landmark environmental law known colloquially as C.E.Q.A. or “See Qua.”
The governor also announced that he had suspended all permitting requirements under the California State Coastal Act for properties rebuilding after the fires.
California is one of America’s most difficult and costly places to build — a driving factor behind the state’s longstanding affordable housing shortage. Between state agencies and local land use commissions, the process of developing buildings, from office complexes to subsidized rental complexes, is longer and more expensive than in almost every other state.
Of all the hurdles a project can be subjected to, few are more difficult and time-consuming than C.E.Q.A. The law often requires developers to fund in-depth environmental studies on a project’s potential impact on everything from local wildlife to noise, views and traffic. Groups who oppose a particular development often use C.E.Q.A. lawsuits to try to stop them. This can add years even to small projects.
While the state’s powerful environmental groups are fiercely protective of any attempts to amend C.E.Q.A. or the Coastal Act, the laws are routinely suspended in emergencies and for large projects such as sports stadiums.
Still, Mr. Newsom’s order was unusually extensive. For instance, after other disasters C.E.Q.A. suspensions have typically required rebuilding property owners to show they tried to comply with the law, even if they weren’t subjected to it. The order announced Sunday is a full waiver: For anyone rebuilding after the fires, C.E.Q.A. is effectively gone.

If that was a desert tortoise (and it looks like it is) then you're definitely not wrong through the prespective of an environmental conservationist. Those are a critically endangered species and you're only allowed to have them as pets under certain circumstances.

Can't really throw too much shit at Amanda if it was burrowed underground when she fled the situation because nothing could have been done to save it in that case, but I'm giving the benefit of a doubt here. Still sad all the same.

Trump better attack like a pitbull at a baby buffet over the dropping of the environmental rules. I thought we needed to protect the envrionment, I wonder what changed his mind? Certainly not the megadonors who control his purse strings and want to rebuild without all of that red tape.
