There are certainly many other ways the fires could have been started. Arson is not a new crime. A drone recorded video of a suspect starting fires in Italy.

Something in plain sight could be used for evil: 5G. The towers emit microwave energy, and if the power were increased, it could function like a microwave oven.

Yes good point.

On the 5G, it doesn't generate enough heat to start fires though. It does definitely do heating though, agreed on that point.

Microwaves do not have to generate heat to ignite a fire. All it takes is a spark. And electric wire will spark in a microwave field, as weak as what is output in a microwave oven used by civilians. I do not know what started the fires in Hawaii, but I know microwaves could easily be used to ignite fires. It would appear as almost a perfect crime. Microwaves are silent and invisible.

Perhaps. I think there's like a 5% chance that's the reason. I think it's much more likely they were just started by a few guys with lighters who were paid

That's definitely a possibility.
