Hook on PG&E Tower Eyed as Cause of Deadly Camp Fire
I&#x27;ve never understood this urge to find the spark that started a wildfire. The cause of the fire was the large amount of dry vegetation in the area. It doesn&#x27;t matter what the spark was. If it hadn&#x27;t been this hook, it would&#x27;ve been something else, such as lightning. Lightning strikes start fires all the time.<p>Why don&#x27;t we put more of our efforts into controlled burning in order to keep the fuel load down? Seems like a much safer approach than trying to prevent all fires no matter the cause.
