Much of the mythology around the LA fires revolves around who or what started the deadly conflagrations. It's an understandable question, but there are no useful answers more specific than "the weather" right now.
"The people I don't like set the fires"
The list of culprits is long and peculiar. Here are only some of the people and things being erroneously or prematurely blamed for starting the LA fires.
The Jews: Fan-favorite conspiracy theory "The Jews did it" made an early appearance after the fire. This was posted on Facebook on Jan. 8:
To be fair, it's not impossible to use "directed energy" to start a fire—you can do it yourself with a magnifying glass—but there's no evidence that this was the cause of the LA fires. A book of matches would be more efficient tool anyway.
I'm not discounting the possibility that governmental mismanagement or bad public policy affected the response to the fires—nobody's perfect, right?—but it's too early to tell what, if anything, went wrong, and who, if anyone, screwed the pooch. There will be years of lawsuits to straighten it all out, rest assured.
Illegal immigrants: This one is at least plausible. In the days after the fire, LA police arrested a homeless citizen of Mexico who was carrying a blowtorch. But whether the blowtorch was used to set fires hasn't been determined. Could it have been understandably nervous local residents mistaking a drug-smoking blowtorch for a fire-starting blowtorch? Maybe. In any case, ICE is looking into it, and if this undocumented dude was really was starting fires, rest assured, we will never, ever stop hearing about it.
Unspecified people (who are probably the Jews): During a Fox News interview, actor Mel Gibson claimed that "there were people ready and willing and able to start fires and are they commissioned to do so." Because he's Mel Gibson, I assume he's talking about the Jews, but you never know.
Enthusiastic urban planners: According to this poster on X, "by 2028, LA is poised to be a fully operational AI based 'Smart City,'" and the fire was set to drive away people so the AI could take over.
Ingram doesn't specify who "the climate folks" nor does she detail the "rumblings" she heard. She seems purposefully vague about the details so viewers can fill in the blanks themselves. No one can really say she's wrong exactly, but the insinuation is that some shadowy group purposefully set the fires to achieve their nefarious goal of available affordable housing.
So what really caused the LA fires?
In a broad sense, the LA fires were the result of unprecedented high winds and dry conditions. The Santa Ana winds are a semi-annual event, and high winds in California usually result in fires. Small blazes that would be quickly extinguished on a normal day become huge wildfires when it gets windy enough.
To be fair to Nature, most of those small blazes are caused by people. Human activity is directly responsible for 85% of wildfires, whether it's electric lines being blown down or arson. As for the current fires: There's some evidence that the Palisades Fire was caused when the remnants of an older blaze reignited, and the Eaton Fire could have been set off by an electric company's equipment, but until The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives finishes its investigation and releases its findings, we have no solid evidence of who or what caused the fires.
