As Los Angeles reels from the astonishing losses of the firestorms, one question holds profound economic, financial and political consequences: What sparked the fires?

The Palisades and Eaton fires have burned more than 12,000 structures and are expected to be the most costly fires in American history, with estimates ranging from $50 billion to $150 billion.

Residents are comparing notes on what they saw in the hills around them in the run-up to the blazes. Utilities are looking into nearby faults in their equipment. Politicians are pointing fingers. Online sleuths are sharing video and other purported evidence on social media platforms.

My two cents---- elementary
