Regarding climate-associated drought: I’ve also repeatedly said that the end of the most recent drought likely makes Southern California wildfires worse. So climate change may be involved, but not necessarily as we assume.
Again, I don’t know anything about Northern California fires; I tweet about Southern California fires in particular. Your first link is about the former. Your second link is an article about projected risks (up to year 2100) of hydroclimatic extremes. I’m tweeting about today.pic.twitter.com/h9O5zczUBC

Since this may be your area of expertise, and I’m just an amateur (but who is from Southern California who’s seen these fires each and every single year for decades), I’m really open to research that definitively points to climate change as the cause or part of it.

It would be even better if it focused on Southern California’s chaparral, which I’m sure you know makes it unique. Extra points if it looks at Baja California and how/why wildfires there burn slowly for months and don’t destroy property or take lives.
