I can't say with certainty.

But man contributed to the damage, that's for sure.

In emergency management you are supposed to

REDUCE the impact of a disaster by eliminating or minimising the risks, this includes fire breaks, removing obvious hazards, trimming tree tops near powerlines.

Be READY to respond with rehearsed plans and have all the systems in place to evacuate the public and contain the hazard.

RESPOND quickly and most effectively to the emergency.

RECOVERY and plan on how you want to be proceed after the emergency.

From my understanding there were professional emergency management teams and professionals and wild fire, volcano, tsunami, hurricane/cyclone are the first and most obvious disasters they should have plans and preparations for.

So whether man made or not. Colossal failure.
