It's just that brush they have that is always there. The fire fighters try and burn it so when fire season comes it doesn't have any fuel. These recent fires though have been started by people and the Esperanza fires were started by someone, and those fires were pretty bad.. I think a few fire fighters lost their lives trying to fight that one cause of the dumb@ss that started it.

Much of that area is just asking for a fire most of the time. There is a period naturally that brings winds and extremely dry conditions and once a fire starts the climate supports it 100% unless the winds die down and the humidity goes up. And since Southern California doesn't get that much rain, we can't rely on that..

There is just lots of dead brush all over that area.. There is a code enforcement for people who live in the Hollywood hills and such that they need to keep their yard brush free or they get fines I believe.
