On Friday, a lawsuit claiming the Mosquito Fire was ignited by PG&E's poorly maintained utility infrastructure was filed in San Francisco Superior Court.

Federal investigators have taken possession of a PG&E utility transmission pole and attached equipment in their probe into the cause of Mosquito Fire.Federal investigators have taken possession of a Pacific Gas and Electric Co. utility transmission pole and attached equipment in a criminal probe into what started a Northern California fire that has become the largest in the state this year, the utility said in a regulatory filing Monday.

The blaze in the Sierra Nevada foothills, about 110 miles northeast of San Francisco, broke out Sept. 6 and has destroyed at least 78 homes and other structures and charred forestland across Placer and El Dorado counties. Earlier this month, the fire surpassed the size of the previous largest conflagration in 2022 - the McKinney Fire - although this season has seen a fraction of last year's wildfire activity so far. Fire officials said total containment of the Mosquito Fire is expected around Oct. 15.

Mayor Lightfoot's Chicago: 11 Shot Friday into Saturday Morning AloneEleven people were shot, four of them fatally, Friday into Saturday morning alone in Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s (D) Chicago. The problem is sin, the only cure is Jesus Christ. Politicians can not save us, governments can not save us. No other name, but Jesus Christ alone can save us. He is coming back for His own, time is running out, believe and be saved. Rapture JesusSaves 7YearTribulation What's all the fuss! Sounds to me like an absolutly normal day in the shooting gallery previosly known as Chicago. If 11 people were shot in a grocery store it would be national news but 11 people all over the city...that’s just another day in Chicago. The most MSM will talk about this is a 27 second blurb before they talk about the Ukraine if we even get that.
