Recent devastating wildfires across California, particularly in Los Angeles, have sparked intense debate about their origins. While official narratives point to climate change as the primary catalyst, alternative perspectives suggest these disasters may have more complex—or even deliberate—causes.
This article examines the controversy surrounding these catastrophic events, the unusual patterns some observers have documented, and the broader questions they raise about disaster management and environmental policy.
The Los Angeles Firestorm of 2025
On January 13th, 2025, Los Angeles experienced what would become the most destructive wildfire disaster in its history. Three uncontrolled wildfires converged overnight, creating an inferno that engulfed multiple neighborhoods including:
- Malibu’s iconic beachfront properties
- Pacific Palisades residential areas
- Areas near the Getty Villa Art Museum
- Parts of Pasadena, including a Jewish temple
- Altadena, where elderly residents were evacuated from a senior center
Dramatic footage captured flames jumping the Pacific Coast Highway and burning all the way to the ocean. The speed and intensity of the fires left residents with little time to evacuate, many escaping with only the clothes on their backs.
“It’s like a bad, horrific dream,” one displaced resident described. “I don’t know how we’re going to get back from this. I don’t even know where to start.”

Another resident, surveying their destroyed belongings, lamented: “A lot of stuff that I love is gone, and these are the only things I have.”

Questions About Official Explanations
In the aftermath, California’s governor expressed frustration about receiving inconsistent information regarding the fires’ causes.
“I want to get straight answers,” the governor stated during a press conference. “I was getting different answers. When you start getting different answers, then I’m not getting the actual story.”
This communication breakdown between state and local officials raised questions about transparency in disaster response and reporting. While official statements attributed the fires to “unseasonably dry vegetation and extremely high winds, both of which are a direct result of climate change,” some observers began questioning this narrative.

A controversial statement made during recovery efforts further fueled speculation when an official reportedly said: “My first piece of advice to you is let’s take care of our mental and physical health first before we embark upon what is going to be a journey to rebuild these communities back and rebuild them better than they were when we started this fire.”
This apparent slip of the tongue—”when we started this fire”—became a focal point for those questioning the official climate change explanation.
Unusual Fire Patterns and Expert Analysis
Robert Brom, a forensic arborist with over 40 years of experience, has investigated numerous California wildfires, including the Paradise fire of 2018. His findings point to unusual patterns that challenge conventional understanding of wildfire behavior:
Selective Burning Patterns
Brom documented cases where highly flammable trees remained intact while nearby structures were completely destroyed:
“This was the big Coffey Park fire in Santa Rosa, where 4,700 homes were turned to white ash. And look at the trees. Why aren’t they missing along with the houses? Many of these are pine family relatives, eucalyptus… Those are so flammable, a cigarette lighter in your hand can light those on fire.”
Trees Burning from Inside Out
Another anomaly Brom documented was trees that appeared to burn from the inside out:
“Many trees are cooking from the inside out. This thing was about four feet in diameter in a spring, burned from the inside out and not one leaf burned… These are 90% dead. They should not have that heartwood. The dark areas, the heartwood. It shows me these things were cooked from the inside out.”
Inconsistent Heat Damage
Brom noted strange patterns in how heat affected different materials:
“Here’s a soil bag that still had soil in it… I see this chainsaw in the back of this pickup truck. The window melted out at 2,500 degrees. All the tires burned completely, leaving the slinky-like steel belts. That plastic should be gone completely, down to the metals. It didn’t happen.”
The presence of white ash in certain areas suggested extremely high temperatures, yet nearby objects remained relatively unaffected. According to Brom, “It’s a different kind of flame. To me, these are microwave-based flames.”

The DEW Theory
Some researchers have proposed that these unusual fire patterns might be explained by directed-energy weapons (DEWs). These are technological systems that deploy high-energy beams, including lasers, microwaves, and particle beams.
While primarily developed for military applications, questions have emerged about whether such technology could be behind the unusual burning patterns observed in recent California wildfires. These theories suggest that the characteristic white ash, the selective destruction, and the inside-out burning of trees all point to energy sources beyond conventional wildfire behavior.
Historical Context and Record-Keeping
Concerns have been raised about the preservation of historical wildfire data. Some observers claim that records of previous fires are being removed or altered, making it difficult to compare current fire patterns with historical ones.
“There have been years in recent past… with more fires than you have in these very countries and cities today,” claims one critic of the climate change narrative. The suggestion is that by obscuring historical data, the unusual nature of recent fires becomes more difficult to verify.
Similar Patterns in Other Disasters
Those questioning the official narrative point to similarities between the Los Angeles fires and other recent disasters, particularly the Maui fires. In both cases, the level of devastation left few building frames standing—a pattern some argue is inconsistent with natural fires.
“With those kinds of fires, the place is left so devastated, you don’t find the frames of the buildings standing. That’s unlike natural fires,” observed one commentator.
Conclusion
The devastating wildfires that have struck California communities raise important questions about disaster preparedness, climate policy, and transparency in government communication. While official statements consistently point to climate change as the primary driver of these increasingly destructive events, the unusual patterns documented by forestry experts and the inconsistencies in official explanations have fueled alternative theories.
As communities rebuild and researchers continue to study these events, the debate over wildfire causes will likely continue. What remains undisputed is the human toll—thousands of displaced residents, destroyed homes, and communities facing the daunting task of rebuilding after unimaginable destruction.
Whether these fires represent the intensifying impact of climate change or something more complex, the need for clear information, effective disaster response, and community support has never been more evident.
