Description
It's confirmed: A PG&E transmission line sparked the deadliest and most destructive fire in California history last November in Butte County. Cal Fire announced Wednesday the result of its investigation into the Camp Fire that killed 85 people and destroyed nearly 14,000 homes. Now it's up to the Butte County District Attorney to determine if PG&E will face criminal charges for it's role in the fire. Either way, some say Cal Fire's determination helps victims of the fire understand they have a right to compensation from one of the largest combined gas and electric companies in the United States.
