PG&E power lines blamed for California wildfire deaths
California fire officials linked a dozen October wildfires to PG&E power lines and downed poles across Mendocino Humboldt Butte Sonoma Lake and Napa counties. Investigators found wind driven fires began when trees hit lines and one fire started after re energizing a downed line. The report cites alleged legal violations by PG&E and notes the blazes killed 15 people and damaged thousands of homes.
