They didn't.
Palisades started Tuesday morning in someone's backyard. The Eaton fire started last evening near one of the campgrounds. The Hearst fire started late last night around 10pm (suspected cause was a vehicle fire from an accident that spread to the side of the road).

- harmmonica 2y agoHey there, do you have a source for the backyard? I'm not questioning it. I'd like to know the origin and what actually occurred in that yard to cause it.
- jpmattia 2y agoOne source is the news stations here in LA, eg https://www.nbclosangeles.com/news/california-wildfires/palisades-eaton-hurst-los-angeles-fires-wednesday/3597466/ https://www.nbclosangeles.com/news/california-wildfires/pali...
- gamblor956 2y agoFollowing up on this: - No source given for the Lidia fire that started in the Angeles National Forest this afternoon. - A specific house address was given on-air for the Sunset Fire in the Hollywood Hills that started this evening at around 5:40pm. The ABC7 copter crew had actually spotted the fire within the first minute or two of it forming (while they were trying to get in position to cover the Palisades fire after refueling), and (ABC and NBC) broadcast the first hour of the fire's growth (and provided live updates on new flare-ups). They may well have saved Hollywood from burning down.
- gamblor956 2y agoAnother followup: There were several more fires that started on Thursday. Due to the unusual nature of these fires, authorities suspect arson. A person of interest was arrested for one of these fires after being observed trying to start a fire.
