Exactly. The failure to trim the power line rights of way are a major cause along with several other commifornika issued regulations.
They don't allow the power line buffers that prevent the lines swinging together to create sparks to be installed on their long lines that span the forests, and they don't allow the power lines to be built below the crest of hills because it's cheaper to build on the top.
Alaska found out years ago that it was more expensive to put power lines below the crest of the mountains, but in the long run it was cheaper because being out of the major wind gusts like the power lines on the crest of the mountains reduced the amount of damage to the lines and the resulting forest fires.
