>We can't simply blame it all on PG&E and move on, a spark from a PG&E power line would not turn into a devastating megafire if the forest was healthy.

Correct. But we can blame PG&E for whatever negligence lead played its part in a forest fire, and enact legislation to make combat it.

Along with that, we can use controlled burns to mitigate the problem as well. It's well known that different indigenous tribes in North America did controlled burns for the positive effect it had.
