Either these reasons are needed before they will initiate rolling blackouts or we have an economic collapse and nobody is able to pay the bills.

Will not be tolerated? Of course there would have to be a reason behind cutting off the power. Melting high voltage lines. etc

Most of the black outs caused in bush fires is for health & safety reasons when it comes to HV equipment tripping out (intentionally), Smoke around HV equipment is very dangerous for people fighting fires, you will be surprised how HV power can discharge through smoke, not many people know this fact but a CFA fiery will certainly know of it.

Most times the authorities will have the power switched off for this reason.
