Well, not surprising since they've been responsible for other ones. On top of it, they want to pass their penalties from the other fires onto the ratepayers.

In Argentinian Patagonia, fires have destroyed more than 10,100 hectares (24,958 acres) since summer began in the Southern Hemisphere.

#Mudslides, 126-mph winds and feet of snow pummel #California amid #AtmosphericRiver
The biggest storm so far this winter blasted California with #flooding #downpours, #hurricane-force winds and feet of #snow in the mountains. Some of the worst damage occurred near the #BurnScars from January's deadly #fires.
By Brian Lada, AccuWeather meteorologist and senior content editor
Published Feb 14, 2025
"Mudslides, flooding downpours and feet of mountain snow were unleashed across California as the biggest storm so far this winter hit the state, including areas devastated by deadly #wildfires in January.
"Evacuations were ordered and roads were shut down near the burn scars of the #PalisadesFire and the #EatonFire due to the risk of mudslides, flash flooding and debris flows, including a stretch of the #PacificCoastHighway between #Malibu and #SantaMonica.
"A person with the Los Angeles Fire Department was swept away in a vehicle amid the flooding but managed to escape with only minor injuries, according to The Associated Press.
"Bulldozers were needed to clear feet of mud, rock and debris from some roads as the heavy rain ran off the charred mountainsides.
"'Over 10 inches of rain fell in some areas, including 10.87 at Manchester, on the coast west of #Sacramento, and 9.89 inches at Mining Ridge, 90 miles south of #SanJose,' AccuWeather Meteorologist and Digital Producer Jesse Ferrell said.
"Rain even fell in California's #DeathValley National Park, with 0.18 of an inch falling in the hottest place in North America. In an entire year, the remote park typically measures 2.20 inches of rain."

Fire chiefs warn UK is not prepared for climate crisis impacts
The #UK is not prepared for the impact of #ClimateBreakdown, fire chiefs have said, as they called on the government to take urgent action to protect communities.
The National Fire Chiefs Council (#NFCC) said the ability of fire services to tackle #weather-related emergencies was at risk, despite them often being the primary frontline response to major weather events including #flooding, #fires caused by #heatwaves, and #storm-related emergencies, all of which are becoming more common.
The #MetOffice predicts that winters by 2070 will be as much as 4.5C #warmer and 30% #wetter than they were in 1990, while summers may be up to 6C warmer and 60% #drier. The south of England is projected to face temperatures reaching 40C (104F) and #rainfall is expected to increase by a quarter.
