Eucalypts grow in cultivated areas like parks and greenspaces around public buildings. They aren't spreading wildly in the forests of SoCal. These are mostly native plants burning, except for whatever is planted in people's yards and along the streets. Intense drought + plants not watered + high winds = rapid spread when there's a fire. Eucalyptus not required.
