Did "they" deliberately choose to start a wildfire in this area to consume much of the water that is stored in Pyramid Lake that is highly popular as a outdoor recreational location?

Situation Summary
Firefighters are currently battling a wildland fire in Gorman, near Hungry Valley State Park, which is spreading southeast toward Lake Pyramid. Crews are working to establish perimeter fire lines around the fire's edges. Aircraft are being utilized to halt the fire's forward progress but are facing challenges due to limited visibility.

The California State Park Services have evacuated 1,200 people from Hungry Valley Park, and Pyramid Lake is closed due to the threat from the Post Fire. Firefighters will continue working overnight to reinforce the existing perimeter on the fire's east side, as the wind is expected to push the fire further south towards Pyramid Lake.

High temperatures and lower humidity are forecasted for tomorrow, with winds expected to peak in the afternoon. Wind gusts may reach up to 20 MPH, with stronger winds at the ridge tops potentially reaching 50 MPH.
