PG&E transmission line towers on the Caribou-Palermo line are seen adjacent to the Feather River in Butte County, near the spot where the Camp Fire began. In February, PG&E said it's "probable" that its equipment caused the blaze, the deadliest and most destructive in modern California history. Cal Fire investigators later confirmed that to be the case.

Pacific Gas and Electric wants to hike its rates, which would translate into average customers paying about ten dollars and fifty cents more a month for their utilities.

But before PG&E does that, the California Public Utilities Commission has to hold public forums to get feedback. Valley Public Radio’s Laura Tsutsui attended a meeting in Fresno to hear what customers had to say.
