California: Pacific Gas and Electric may face criminal charges if its
operations or equipment are found to have sparked fatal wildfires.
The recent ‘Camp Fire’ killed 86 people and torched 150,000 acres
north of Sacramento in November.
The cause of the fire is still under investigation, but early reports
suggest it began with a broken PG&E transmission line.
Investigators found that PG&E equipment caused 12 of 15 major wildfires
that hit the state in 2017 and left 44 people dead.
In 2016, Governor Jerry Brown vetoed a bill that would have buried
transmission lines underground and given local governments more input
in constructing fire maps. -GEG

California’s largest utility could face murder charges or manslaughter
charges if found responsible for sparking recent, deadly wildfires
around the state, according to the state attorney general.
