"bio": "• I write and edit stories about how Silicon Valley power and policies shape everyday life in California. I’m also passionate about making Bay Area history and culture more accessible to a broad public. • I’ve been a journalist for most of my life, starting in high school with The Franklin Press in Los Angeles, where I grew up. While earning my first degree in English at UC Berkeley, I got my start in public radio at KALX-FM. After completing a second degree in journalism at Cal, I landed my first professional job at Marketplace, then moved on to KPCC (now LAist), and then KQED, where I hosted The California Report for more than seven years. • My reporting has appeared on NPR, The World, WBUR’s \u003ci>Here & Now\u003c/i>, and the BBC. I also guest host for KQED’s \u003ci>Forum\u003c/i>, as well as the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. • I speak periodically on media, democracy and technology issues, and do voiceover work for documentaries and educational video projects. • Outside of the studio, you'll find me hiking Bay Area trails and whipping up Insta-ready meals in my kitchen. • I do not accept gifts, money, or favors from anyone connected to my reporting, I don't pay people for information, and I do not support or donate to political causes. • I strive to treat the people I report on with fairness, honesty, and respect. I also recognize there are often multiple sides to a story and work to verify information through multiple sources and documentation. If I get something wrong, I correct it.",

His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

Those conditions led to a blaze that moved with shocking speed on Nov. 8, consuming an estimated 76 acres a minute and advancing 15 miles from its origin near the Feather River community of Pulga in just 12 hours. The fire ultimately killed at least 86 people and burned 14,000 homes in Paradise and the communities of Concow and Magalia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In describing the fire's ferocity as it raced through the town of Paradise, the Green Sheet resorts to a comparison drawn not from previous wildfires, but from the annals of World War II. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"When the fire reached the town of Paradise,\" the Green Sheet says, \"an urban firestorm began to spread from building to building independent of the vegetation, similar to the firestorm that consumed Hamburg, Germany, in 1943.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In July and August of that year, British and U.S. planes \u003ca href=\"https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-43546839\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">carried out raids for eight days and nights\u003c/a> that destroyed much of the city and killed at least 34,000 people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11712556\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/12/Hamburg1943-800x603.jpg\" alt=\"Burned-out buildings in Hamburg, Germany, following the 1943 allied bombing and resulting firestorm.\" width=\"800\" height=\"603\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11712556\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/12/Hamburg1943.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/12/Hamburg1943-160x121.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Burned-out buildings in Hamburg, Germany, following the 1943 allied bombing and resulting firestorm. \u003ccite>(Wikimedia Commons)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Firefighters Trapped\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The Camp Fire Green Sheet says the first three firefighters were hurt as they prepared to conduct a defensive firing operation — often called a backfire — along Rattlesnake Flats Road and Clark Road, just outside Paradise, at around 2:45 p.m. on Nov. 8. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At that point the fire was estimated to be one-quarter mile north of a team including three inmate firefighters and edging slowly to the south toward them.

Those conditions led to a blaze that moved with shocking speed on Nov. 8, consuming an estimated 76 acres a minute and advancing 15 miles from its origin near the Feather River community of Pulga in just 12 hours. The fire ultimately killed at least 86 people and burned 14,000 homes in Paradise and the communities of Concow and Magalia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In describing the fire's ferocity as it raced through the town of Paradise, the Green Sheet resorts to a comparison drawn not from previous wildfires, but from the annals of World War II. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"When the fire reached the town of Paradise,\" the Green Sheet says, \"an urban firestorm began to spread from building to building independent of the vegetation, similar to the firestorm that consumed Hamburg, Germany, in 1943.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In July and August of that year, British and U.S. planes \u003ca href=\"https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-43546839\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">carried out raids for eight days and nights\u003c/a> that destroyed much of the city and killed at least 34,000 people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11712556\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/12/Hamburg1943-800x603.jpg\" alt=\"Burned-out buildings in Hamburg, Germany, following the 1943 allied bombing and resulting firestorm.\" width=\"800\" height=\"603\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11712556\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/12/Hamburg1943.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/12/Hamburg1943-160x121.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Burned-out buildings in Hamburg, Germany, following the 1943 allied bombing and resulting firestorm. \u003ccite>(Wikimedia Commons)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Deeper into the mountains, illegal pot plantations were suddenly exposed — and charred. Then there’s the odd home on a ridge top or Rite Aid store that has been randomly spared.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“See how hot that burned, there’s nothing left down there,” says Dan Tomascheski, talking through a headset over the roar of the helicopter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He’s vice president of resources for Sierra Pacific Industries, one of Northern California’s biggest timber companies. About 10,000 acres of the company’s private land was scorched by the Camp Fire, the largest and deadliest wildfire in California history.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’ll have to get [down] there quickly and harvest what’s big enough to make lumber,” Tomascheski says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the immediate term, his company will try to salvage as many of the burned trees as they can before they’re taken over by bugs or rot. The longer-term strategy is more complicated and, in the past, politically fraught. But now, many on the ground in beleaguered Butte County — from the timber industry to environmentalists, forest ecologists and firefighters — see this fire as a possible turning point in the long-running debate over how Western forests should be managed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11712313\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11712313\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/12/Siegler_Sierra-Pacific-lumber-2-800x557.jpg\" alt=\"Sierra Pacific\" width=\"800\" height=\"557\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/12/Siegler_Sierra-Pacific-lumber-2-800x557.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/12/Siegler_Sierra-Pacific-lumber-2-160x111.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/12/Siegler_Sierra-Pacific-lumber-2-1020x711.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/12/Siegler_Sierra-Pacific-lumber-2-1200x836.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/12/Siegler_Sierra-Pacific-lumber-2.jpg 1837w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Part of Sierra Pacific’s defensible space project next to Paradise Lake, as seen from the air.

All of that overgrowth, dried out from hotter and longer summers and a history of suppressing wildfires, is a big reason why we’re now seeing deadly infernos like the Camp Fire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Trees as a ‘liability’\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the mountains near the old sawmill town of Stirling City, Dan Tomascheski has traded a chopper for a pickup so he can get a closer look at the extent of some of the damage to Sierra Pacific’s timber lands. In one forested rural neighborhood that didn’t burn, it is astounding how dense the woods are, thick with brush and small-diameter trees. It is similar to how many forested areas near Paradise looked before last month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People love the trees and they’re beautiful,” Tomascheski says. “But they can be a liability.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11712315\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11712315 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/12/Siegler_Sierra-Pacific-lumber-6-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"Tomasheski\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/12/Siegler_Sierra-Pacific-lumber-6-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/12/Siegler_Sierra-Pacific-lumber-6-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/12/Siegler_Sierra-Pacific-lumber-6-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/12/Siegler_Sierra-Pacific-lumber-6-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/12/Siegler_Sierra-Pacific-lumber-6.jpg 1824w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sierra Pacific Vice President Dan Tomascheski \u003ccite>(Adam Grossberg/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Tomascheski stops near Paradise Lake to point out a small clearing in the forest where the large trees mostly survived the fire. Earlier this year, Sierra Pacific had thinned out underbrush and some of the trees to create what’s known as a fuel break. This had the effect of slowing down the Camp Fire long enough to allow firefighters to safely stage here and make a stand against the fire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We don’t think we’re being naive in that this is a panacea for every condition every time, but this really is a start,” Tomascheski says. You’re never going to stop these modern megafires once they blow up, he says, but a key fuel break like this might give firefighters the upper hand on the second or third day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There isn’t a lot of good news after the Camp Fire. But the small success around this fuel break makes the case for the kind of work that foresters say needs to be done now across millions of acres of private and public lands in the West.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Landscape-level restoration \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An estimated 90 percent of all of the homes in Paradise, which had a population of almost 27,000, were destroyed. Jim Broshears’ place was spared, which he credits to the extensive brush clearing and other mitigation work he’d done prior to the fire. But he says this work creating defensible space and fuel breaks can’t just be focused in and around towns that have been built out into fire-prone areas. Attention also needs to be paid way out into the forests, doing selective thinning projects, brush clearing and controlled burns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I hope that one of the outcomes of this is that we’ll all be at the same table,” Broshears says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11712314\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11712314\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/12/Siegler_Sierra-Pacific-lumber-4-800x523.jpg\" alt=\"Sierra Pacific\" width=\"800\" height=\"523\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/12/Siegler_Sierra-Pacific-lumber-4-800x523.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/12/Siegler_Sierra-Pacific-lumber-4-160x105.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/12/Siegler_Sierra-Pacific-lumber-4-1020x667.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/12/Siegler_Sierra-Pacific-lumber-4-1200x785.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/12/Siegler_Sierra-Pacific-lumber-4.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Part of Sierra Pacific’s defensible space project outside the town of Stirling City.

Battles over the spotted owl and other issues led to a significant drop in timber harvests on federal public land. But Broshears and others who work on the land say, these days, what’s really holding up these critical forest management projects is funding, not those environmental battles or lawsuits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Arielle Halpern, a wildfire scientist with the Mount Shasta Bioregional Ecology Center, says there’s a realization now that all the finger-pointing and blaming of the past wasn’t constructive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think there are a lot of discussions that need to happen and everybody could use some education,” she says. “I say this for myself as well.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>North of Paradise near the town of Mount Shasta, Halpern is organizing her neighbors — from hippies to ranchers — into community groups that will conduct prescribed burns on private land.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We do have common goals; we all like to have safe homes and families,” Halpern says. “You talk to an environmentalist on the far left and someone on the far right, and I bet that they could agree with that statement.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Rural economic rebound? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back in the woods, near the old sawmill town of Stirling City, Dan Tomascheski says his industry is now talking and compromising with groups they might not have even agreed to meet with a couple of decades ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It takes time. You go to more meetings than you’d like to, but you need to build a consensus,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There’s too much at stake not to build that consensus, foresters say. There’s valuable timber, of course. But the forests are also important wildlife habitat. They serve as critical watersheds for many cities in the West, and the recent megafires are emitting enormous amounts of carbon into the atmosphere, worsening global warming.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s in nobody’s interest to burn the whole resource up,” Tomascheski says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In recent years, Sierra Pacific and other companies have begun making retrofits to mills in order to process the smaller-diameter wood and biomass that needs to be cleared out from the forests, and turn it into a commercially viable product.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If the industry knows there will be a steady market, Tomascheski says, they’ll invest and expand.

Earlier this year, Sierra Pacific had thinned out underbrush and some of the trees to create what’s known as a fuel break. This had the effect of slowing down the Camp Fire long enough to allow firefighters to safely stage here and make a stand against the fire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We don’t think we’re being naive in that this is a panacea for every condition every time, but this really is a start,” Tomascheski says. You’re never going to stop these modern megafires once they blow up, he says, but a key fuel break like this might give firefighters the upper hand on the second or third day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There isn’t a lot of good news after the Camp Fire. But the small success around this fuel break makes the case for the kind of work that foresters say needs to be done now across millions of acres of private and public lands in the West.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Landscape-level restoration \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An estimated 90 percent of all of the homes in Paradise, which had a population of almost 27,000, were destroyed. Jim Broshears’ place was spared, which he credits to the extensive brush clearing and other mitigation work he’d done prior to the fire. But he says this work creating defensible space and fuel breaks can’t just be focused in and around towns that have been built out into fire-prone areas. Attention also needs to be paid way out into the forests, doing selective thinning projects, brush clearing and controlled burns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I hope that one of the outcomes of this is that we’ll all be at the same table,” Broshears says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11712314\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11712314\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/12/Siegler_Sierra-Pacific-lumber-4-800x523.jpg\" alt=\"Sierra Pacific\" width=\"800\" height=\"523\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/12/Siegler_Sierra-Pacific-lumber-4-800x523.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/12/Siegler_Sierra-Pacific-lumber-4-160x105.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/12/Siegler_Sierra-Pacific-lumber-4-1020x667.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/12/Siegler_Sierra-Pacific-lumber-4-1200x785.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/12/Siegler_Sierra-Pacific-lumber-4.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Part of Sierra Pacific’s defensible space project outside the town of Stirling City.

Battles over the spotted owl and other issues led to a significant drop in timber harvests on federal public land.

Last year, hundreds of Northern California homeowners complained that contractors paid by the ton hauled away too much dirt and damaged unbroken driveways, sidewalks and pipes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state OES spent millions repairing that damage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ghilarducci said the state OES will hire auditors and monitors to watch over debris removal in hopes of cutting down on the number of over-eager contractors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We learned a great number of things” last year, Ghilarducci said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said the U.S. Corps of Engineers was asked to lead the effort last year because state resources were stretched thin after responding to more than a dozen wildfires.

Everybody likes to build new, people obviously want to rebuild their communities,” he said. “We’re in a new era where these risks are so bad I think we’ve really got to take a look at how we’re making these decisions.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Authorities are still determining what caused the fire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pacific Gas & Electric told regulators that a high-voltage power line malfunctioned at the time at a spot where investigators believe the fire started on Nov. 8.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The San Francisco-based utility told the California Public Utilities Commission on Tuesday that several miles away workers found a fallen power pole and equipment with bullet holes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A number of fire victims have filed lawsuits alleging that PG&E’s equipment started the fire that destroyed the town of Paradise and killed at least 86 people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The cleanup costs for last month’s fires will far surpass the record expense of $1.3 billion the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers spent on debris removal in Northern California in 2017.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California Office of Emergency Services Director Mark Ghilarducci said the state will manage cleanup contracts this time. Last year, hundreds of Northern California homeowners complained that contractors paid by the ton hauled away too much dirt and damaged unbroken driveways, sidewalks and pipes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state OES spent millions repairing that damage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ghilarducci said the state OES will hire auditors and monitors to watch over debris removal in hopes of cutting down on the number of over-eager contractors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We learned a great number of things” last year, Ghilarducci said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said the U.S. Corps of Engineers was asked to lead the effort last year because state resources were stretched thin after responding to more than a dozen wildfires. This year, he said state officials can manage the cleanup, and costs will be shared among state, federal and local authorities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cleanup is expected to begin in January and take about a year to complete. State and federal officials are currently removing hazardous household materials from the damaged properties.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>___\u003cbr>\nAssociated Press writer Paul Elias in San Francisco contributed to this story.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

PG&E's new letter suggests that a large steel hook connecting high-voltage equipment to a tower near the utility's Poe Dam failed, causing the equipment to arc.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The fire was first reported adjacent to the line, called the Caribou-Palermo 115-kilovolt transmission line, about 15 minutes later.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>PG&E's letter also discloses a series of discoveries by utility workers at a site about 2 miles to the west that may have been a second ignition point for the fire. The utility informed the CPUC last month that it had experienced a problem somewhere along a lower-voltage distribution line about 6:45 a.m. Nov. 8, or roughly 15 minutes after the blaze was reported near Poe Dam.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Nov. 9, PG&E's new letter says, a company employee patrolling the area found a broken power pole along the line that showed evidence of having been hit by gunfire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The worker \"observed that the pole and other equipment was on the ground with bullets and bullet holes at the break point of the pole and on the equipment [that] had fallen to the ground,\" the letter says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Three days later, another PG&E worker patrolling the area discovered more damage to the same line: \"Wires down and damaged and downed poles at the intersection of Concow Road and Rim Road. ... At this location, the employee observed several snapped trees, with some on top of the downed wires.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The filing comes amid growing scrutiny of the state's power infrastructure and safety and maintenance practices by lawmakers, regulators and a \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11711342/pge-may-have-dodged-probation-violation-by-striking-deal-with-butte-county\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">federal judge\u003c/a> overseeing PG&E's probation on a felony conviction for violating federal pipeline safety laws.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cal Fire continues to investigate the cause of the fire, which killed at least 86 people and destroyed almost 14,000 homes in Paradise and the neighboring communities of Concow and Magalia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Scott McLean, a Cal Fire spokesman reached Wednesday morning, declined to answer whether the new report is part of the agency's investigation or if it is any closer to announcing any findings in the blaze.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Our investigators continue their work toward determining a cause of the Camp Fire,\" McLean said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The PG&E letter includes new details of damage to towers on the Caribou-Palermo 115 kV transmission line. The line \"relayed and de-energized\" at 6:15 a.m., the letter says. Cal Fire dispatch recordings show someone at the company's Poe Dam called in the first report of the blaze about 6:30.

PG&E observed a broken C-hook attached to the separated suspension insulator that had connected the suspension insulator to a tower arm, along with wear at the connection point. In addition, PG&E observed a flash mark on (the tower) near where the transposition jumper was suspended and damage to the transposition jumper and suspension insulator.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In response to emailed questions Wednesday, UC Berkeley electrical engineering researcher Alexandra von Meier explained that suspension insulators support the electrical conductors -- high-voltage cables -- that run between transmission line towers. They prevent the conductors from coming into contact with the tower. Transposition jumpers are devices used to balance the electrical current running through the conductors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Von Meier, an adjunct professor who is director of electrical grid research at UC Berkeley's California Institute for Energy and Environment, said the broken C-hook suggested a scenario for the fire's start.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If one of these comes loose, you’d expect that the jumper, which is going to be energized because it’s still connected to the conductor, might swing around and come close enough to the tower to draw an electrical arc, which makes a visible flash. In that case, it would tend to leave behind a flash mark of carbon residue,\" von Meier said. \"This is just like what happens if you stick a screwdriver into a wall outlet -- don’t try this at home! -- and it makes a spark and then leaves a black mark on the wall.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Von Meier said PG&E's report in the letter struck her as \"thorough, clinical and factual.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Without saying as much, it suggests to me a very plausible narrative about where and how the fire might have started,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>CPUC spokeswoman Terrie Prosper said Wednesday the new information from PG&E will be incorporated into the commission's staff investigation into the fire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The regulatory agency is also investigating the company's safety culture.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"A new phase will be opened soon examining the corporate governance, structure, and operation of PG&E, including in light of the recent wildfires, to determine the best path forward for Northern Californians to receive safe electrical and gas service in the future,\" Prosper said in an email.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a \u003ca href=\"https://www.pge.com/en/about/newsroom/newsdetails/index.page?title=20181211_pge_publicly_releases_supplemental_report_on_electric_incidents_near_the_camp_fire\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">press release\u003c/a> accompanying the report, PG&E issued a statement, repeating its emphasis on safety.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The loss of life, homes and businesses in the Camp Fire is truly devastating. Our focus continues to be on assessing our infrastructure to further enhance safety, restoring electric and gas service where possible, and helping customers begin to recover and rebuild. Throughout our service area, we are committed to doing everything we can to further reduce the risk of wildfire,\" the company said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new PG&E disclosures came as Butte County authorities announced that the death toll in the blaze had increased to 86.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The sheriff's department said Tuesday evening that Larry Smith, 80, of Paradise, died Nov. 25 at UC Davis Burn Center.

Transposition jumpers are devices used to balance the electrical current running through the conductors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Von Meier, an adjunct professor who is director of electrical grid research at UC Berkeley's California Institute for Energy and Environment, said the broken C-hook suggested a scenario for the fire's start.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If one of these comes loose, you’d expect that the jumper, which is going to be energized because it’s still connected to the conductor, might swing around and come close enough to the tower to draw an electrical arc, which makes a visible flash. In that case, it would tend to leave behind a flash mark of carbon residue,\" von Meier said. \"This is just like what happens if you stick a screwdriver into a wall outlet -- don’t try this at home! -- and it makes a spark and then leaves a black mark on the wall.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Von Meier said PG&E's report in the letter struck her as \"thorough, clinical and factual.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Without saying as much, it suggests to me a very plausible narrative about where and how the fire might have started,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>CPUC spokeswoman Terrie Prosper said Wednesday the new information from PG&E will be incorporated into the commission's staff investigation into the fire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The regulatory agency is also investigating the company's safety culture.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"A new phase will be opened soon examining the corporate governance, structure, and operation of PG&E, including in light of the recent wildfires, to determine the best path forward for Northern Californians to receive safe electrical and gas service in the future,\" Prosper said in an email.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a \u003ca href=\"https://www.pge.com/en/about/newsroom/newsdetails/index.page?title=20181211_pge_publicly_releases_supplemental_report_on_electric_incidents_near_the_camp_fire\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">press release\u003c/a> accompanying the report, PG&E issued a statement, repeating its emphasis on safety.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The loss of life, homes and businesses in the Camp Fire is truly devastating. Our focus continues to be on assessing our infrastructure to further enhance safety, restoring electric and gas service where possible, and helping customers begin to recover and rebuild. Throughout our service area, we are committed to doing everything we can to further reduce the risk of wildfire,\" the company said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new PG&E disclosures came as Butte County authorities announced that the death toll in the blaze had increased to 86.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The sheriff's department said Tuesday evening that Larry Smith, 80, of Paradise, died Nov. 25 at UC Davis Burn Center. The agency said Smith was burned while trying to put out a fire that had engulfed his car.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
