Sorry GOD did not select California to be the recipient of a lightening bolt.

Usually, it's Man who starts fires (humans suck).
But, natural wildfires do occur every year in Southern California attributed to the Santa Ana Winds. As a former San Diego resident, these fires happen every year and the State Government fails to prepare for it.
If the State was really prepared for it, why doesn't it have more water tanker aircraft (fixed wing and rotary winged) at its disposal? Because it would rather spend money on B.S. items than preparedness against yearly events.
I doubt Allah/God/Kali and other "Gods" specifically say to each other "let's start a fire in Southern California" or "let's have a huge earthquake in Indonesia" this week.
Earthquakes, wildfires, hurricanes, tornadoes, typhoons, and floods were occurring long before Man arrived on Earth. They are just a natural part of our planet's aging process.

If you are going to blame God, which God or gods are you talking about? Assuming you are blaming it on the Christian God, you need to really dig into the Bible (both OT and NT) and find prove that the deity whom you've named God does cause and has caused natural disasters without any particular reason. It is all too easy to blame everything on God and especially call something like this fire an "Act of God". Yet, I just wonder how many of you who call all kinds of disasters "Acts of God" will praise God when things go right? My Bible tells me that the thief only (devil) comes to steal, and kill and destroy but (Jesus) came so that (we) might have life and might have it more abundantly (John 10:10). So, who or what really causes the California wildfires? Devil or Man?

God did.
Who gave me my beautiful, hot, sexy, stylish Korean girlfriend with whom I had the six most wonderful months of my life? ans: God.
Who let that girl go home to Seoul and left me desolated and depressed for seven years now?
Who gave me the intelligence and proficiency to be admitted to one of the best universities here in the Philippines where I experienced intellectual euphoria? ans: God.
Who allowed me to fail in my subjects so I was kicked out of the program in my senior year and now, at age thirty, I am still practically unemployed?
Who gave me the so industrious, rational, just, respectable, respectful, loyal, brave, funny, and so religious and so affectionate father that I had? C’mon, guys, stop being cynical, answer this question… isn’t it God?
Who gave him an asthma attack that led to his lying in his deathbed (at age 57) completely paralyzed, (cannot speak, cannot eat, we fed him by a tube through his nostril) for FOUR YEARS and 9 months before he finally succumbed to kidney failure which bloated his body and made him scream voicelessly in his last few weeks?
Am I to attribute to God only those things that I enjoy? Then attribute to someone else those that my immature, worldly brain detests? Nothing is God’s Fault. And Nothing is Not God’s Will.
Who gave Southern California those woodlands?
Who burned them down?

In the case with these fires, it was first thought that nature caused the fires, when winds blew down a high tension power line, which was found in Malibu Canyon, but now they are saying this was arson.

Could be anything that set it off. A cigarette, a single spark, a match, whatever combined with the dryness and windiness of the hills/mountains up there.

They are caused by either man or nature. Not any god.
