LOS ANGELES — State investigators said Wednesday that Pacific Gas & Electric Co. electrical transmission lines caused the Camp Fire, which killed 85 people in Northern California last year.that it expected the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, or Cal Fire, to find that its equipment was at fault. Cal Fire did so in a brief statement Wednesday, identifying two ignition points in Butte County.
Cal Fire said it had referred its findings to the Butte County district attorney's office, which didn't answer a phone call seeking comment. PG&E said that it hadn't been able to review the Cal Fire report but that one of the ignition points the agency identified was"consistent" with its previous statements. It said that it was fully cooperating with all open investigations of the fire and that"we remain focused on supporting" the victims.
The Camp Fire, which started last November in Butte County, burned more than 153,000 acres, destroyed almost 19,000 structures and wiped most of the town of Paradise off the map to become not only the, but also the worst natural disaster in the world last year. PG&E has acknowledged that some of its transmission lines in the area lost power right before the fire and were later found to have been damaged.
My sincere condolences.
😮🤭
We need safe energy. We need solar power. The sun doesn't start fires.
When I asked why doesn't the state require utility companies to bury their electrical lines in high fire hazard areas the answer I received was 'it's too expensive'. But 85 lives lost, towns burned to the ground and 10 billion in financial loss is cheaper?
THEN THEY NEED TO PAY UP CAUSE THIS IS CONSIDERDED A ACT OF GOD
This is horrible
KamalaHarris knows how to prosecute this case! IanSams 45 doesn't even know the name of the town!
Ca. You should have raked. Just as tRump Duck and his crime family are raking America!
Okay, so they states what caused the fire , but they also need to list why it was able to spread so fast
Yeah right.........that whole area was a tinderbox. Someone tossing a cigarette could have caused it just as easily.
Rake the floors tho

PG&E Caused Fire That Killed 85, California ConcludesState investigators said they found that PG&E’s equipment sparked the deadliest wildfire in California history, putting additional pressure on a company already facing billions of dollars in potential liability costs. I can think of a handful of ways to bankrupt the insurance industry. This is one of them. Definitely don’t do this. People shouldn’t set fires to make change. That’s irresponsible even those it’s 100% effective and largely untraceable. Don’t do it. Customers using electricity through PG&E are also liable I don’t accept that. It was another governmental left wing plan to open areas for his tracks of his supertrain. It saved a lot of work, buying properties from citizens. Sounds like I’m crazy, I know. Gerry Brown is a crook of all crooks.
