Dixie Fire
Four manslaughter charges against PG&E in the 2020 Zogg Fire followed the first lawsuit against the utility for starting the still-burning Dixie Fire.
The CPUC and the judge overseeing PG&E's probation are leaning on the utility to clear trees from lines that could start fires.
A massive wildfire that Pacific Gas and Electric equipment is suspected of causing exploded overnight and destroyed the historic gold rush town of Greenville.
PG&E said the Dixie Fire burning in Northern California could hurt its finances but denied it committed crimes in starting last year’s deadly Zogg Fire.
PG&E proposed burying 10,000 miles of distribution lines underground in high-threat fire areas of California.
PG&E said one of its lines may have ignited the 30,000-acre Dixie Fire burning northeast of Paradise, a town destroyed by a PG&E-caused fire three years ago.
