  • The October 2017 Cascade wildfire in northern California was started by sagging power lines on equipment owned by Pacific Gas & Electric (PCG +1.4%) which came into contact during heavy winds, according to a Cal Fire investigation.
  • But Cal Fire says it did not find public resources code violations and forwarded its report to the Yuba County District Attorney.
