Living in fire prone areas is part of the modern lifestyle. People only started to build communities there once aggressive fire suppression policies were instituted. Before then, the builder/owner assumed all the risk. The fires aren't caused by climate change, even if it's making them worse. Building a community out of combustible materials in fire prone areas, while suppressing natural fuel removal via fire suppression policies, is a much more direct cause for loss of property.
