Worth noting that in the 2009 Black Saturday bushfires in Australia, there was an AU$494 million class action[0] settlement against a power company (and others), as that fire was determined to have started from power lines.

That said, I'd wait until a proper forensic decision is reached; I can't say I expect a news channel to be too rigorous in its determination of whether a damaged tower caused the fire, or whether the fire damaged the tower.

I also agree with the other comment regarding the need for more controlled/prescribed burning; in Australia again, it is a reasonably established prevention strategy[1], with a long history among indigenous Australians[2].
