Nothing is impossible but...Its just not necessary in CA. We water our grass twice a day.  Hell, just don't maintain the forests and some tourist or teenager or drunk goes in the forest and a fire is probably going to happen. Perhaps you have heard the song, "It Never Rains in California".  Although that is an exaggeration, it is very dry here.  Just leaving a broken shard of glass on dry scrub will start a fire.  I have literally seen spontaneous combustion burn mall landscaping down. When the winds are up, scrub is not cleared out, controlled burns maintained, these fires spread incredibly fast and are impossible to stop.  You don't have to use lasers or any cold fusion thing to start a huge fire here. Light a cigarette and drop it on the ground.  Break a glass and let it even 1 shard lay.  Start a camp fire and put it 90 percent out and walk away. All of these have started huge fires in CA.  Everyone in CA knows they have to be extremely careful, but still ppl are human.
