If (and I recognize this is a big "if") the AG can prove by a preponderance of the evidence that (1)they acted negligently, and (2) that their negligence started the fire, then yes, they should be liable.

I think that because this is a civil suit the standard of proof is not ‘beyond a reasonable doubt.’ Instead, the prosecution will be required to prove there is ‘clear and convincing’ evidence they were responsible. That is a lower level of proof.
