California has a dry humid climate that allows for fires to naturally start up and a high population centered in the Southern half and the Bay Area which means more people to do stupid shit that starts a fire.
Add in other environmental factors like climate change bringing new colder weather to traditionally hot climates and you add new variables to how a wildfire can start.

None of that would matter if you people would allow prescribed burning. It has worked for millennia. Even the reptiles knew how to prevent massive forest fires
