Fires don't just come from lightning, so the same is true of forest fires. They're as likely to come from industrial sources, or from humans, just like city fires.
Fire is as likely to come from arson as it is anywhere else, and it's a little suspect when someone tries to get somebody else to quickly rule out arson as even a possibility rather than as absolute, the way some writers write stories in the news about how the fire is thought to or does absolutely come from lightning, without offering any other realistic possibilities. Does telling people a fire came from lightning rather than arson or another source really make them feel safer when they can end up just as dead from a fire that started from lightning? Theres no good reason people shouldn't question or speculate about where forest fires came from, especially when it's all over the west coast, which is unusual most years (even for fire prone areas).

Get the Forest firesmug. A place where a large gathering of people who are unmasked (or masked) and are congregating during the pandemic unknowingly spreading Covid. Depending on which variant is around depends on the name - first it was the Covid Forest, then came the Delta Forest found more commonly in the Southeast. Omicron Forest common in Northeast spread grew quickly. Regardless of the variant, the Covid Forest grows when people unknowingly spread Covid among people either at indoor or outdoor venues.
We went to tailgate at the Patriot game. Masked and masked people were everywhere. Covid was surely being spread. I felt like I was in a Covid Forest!
The Van Gogh exhibit was so crowded, masked people were sitting everywhere, but we still felt like we were in an Omicron Forest.
