Hills, tinder, and high winds don't mix well in CA
It's just a wretched mess with three major fires; all germinating in the area in the last month NE NAPA county with 30 knot winds and perfect tinder dry drought underbrush up chimney like hills/canyons. Not as bad(yet) as the Lexington Resevoir and Oakland Hills fire IMHO from my appraiser days in the '90's.

The Oakland fire ultimately killed 25 people and injured 150 others. The 1,520 acres (620 ha) destroyed, included 2,843 single-family dwellings and 437 apartment and condominium units. The economic loss has been estimated at $1.5 billion
