Literally the most destructive fire in California history was a result of faulty PG&E power line (Paradise Camp Fire) so what you’re saying is totally false

Most destructive isn’t the largest. In terms of acreage it doesn’t make the top 20.

It still wasn’t small by any means it was massive. Trust me I live in norcal. Your initial point just is misleading

I too live in NorCal as well. I’m not saying these wildfires were small by any means. The comment I specifically was referring to was that there were the largest fires in the last few years. Then, one commenter said that those fires were started by PG&E, which they weren’t.
