Yes they would, Khandro. And they would look at those components ...
drunkenness
outdoor fires
dry, hot, windy weather
... and ask: What's different this year to previous years, to make fires worse?
The weather was certainly drier, hotter and windier than normal. That may have led to more outdoor fires at social occasions. And those social occasions may have led to more drunkenness. All in all, a perfect storm brought on by the unusual conditions this year.

It's cute when you think you're making a serious point, Naomi.
Khandro -- see Ellipsis' answer. The first part is hardly to be unexpected and is normal year-on-year. And, in fact, is largely irrelevant, because, as it turns out, most of the fires will have been caused by lightning strikes.
I'm running out of things to say about just how groundless your suggestion is. It's a question that has been asked and answered.

// jim; Wouldn't even a scientist concede that drunkenness, outdoor fires in dry, hot, windy weather, is a dangerous combination?//
and there was silly old me thinking that at last some on AB accepted that fires from strikes were a part of the longish life cycle of the terrain - and the question was - why are they so bad this year?
and clearly they dont
Ji, there are times when I think you shold say - yeah yeah OK 1+1=3
