Pacific Gas & Electric Blamed for Starting Another Devastating Fire in California
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In California, state investigators have concluded the utility company
Pacific Gas & Electric is responsible for last year's massive Dixie
Fire, which burned over 1 million acres and destroyed over 1,300 homes.
Investigators say the fire began after a tree fell on electricity lines
owned and operated by the company. Two years ago, PG&E pleaded guilty to
84 counts of involuntary manslaughter for the company's role in causing
the deadly 2018 Camp Fire.
