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.
