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.",

Power, I believe, will still be going through those transmission lines ... fire prevention measures must continue, bankruptcy or not,” said Sherwood. “I think PG&E is behind the ball when it comes to fire prevention measures, and I'm concerned that bankruptcy will further put them behind the ball.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>PG&E Is Filing for Bankruptcy While Still Solvent\u003c/h3>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch3>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/tag/pge\">PG&E Bankruptcy: How We Got Here\u003c/a>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/tag/pge\">\u003cimg src=\"https://u.s.kqed.net/2019/01/14/PGEWorkersLift.jpg\" alt=\"\">\u003c/a>\u003c/figure>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>At its core, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11721763/pge-just-filed-for-bankruptcy-heres-what-happens-next\">Chapter 11 bankruptcy\u003c/a> is aimed at allowing a company to restructure its operations and get rid of some debts when it doesn’t have enough money to pay all those obligations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But what's unusual about this bankruptcy filing is that the utility is still solvent. As part of its filing, PG&E estimated its liabilities at about $51 billion and its assets at more than $71 billion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And some critics argue there's no reason for the company to go bankrupt.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is the easy way for them to go.

Jerry Hill (D-San Mateo), whose district includes San Bruno, the site of a 2010 gas explosion caused by PG&E equipment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hill points out that ratepayers ended up on the hook for billions of dollars in loans after the utility declared bankruptcy in 2001.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The ratepayers, as we did with the last bankruptcy, will wind up paying a lot more,” he said. “The victims will probably not get dollar for dollar and PG&E will win.

She pointed out that no other utilities during that time chose the bankruptcy route.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"PG&E made out like a bandit. So here we are again 18 years later.

Gavin Newsom to fire all of the CPUC commissioners, who unanimously voted to pre-approve up to $6.1 billion in credit and loans for PG&E on Monday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What many people don’t realize is this $6 billion credit line comes on top of the bailout the Legislature approved for PG&E and the other utilities over the 2017 fires,” said Court. “The PUC should be called the PG&E Underwriting Commission, not the Public Utilities Commission, because there was absolutely no public protection in this decision. There wasn’t even an opportunity for the public to comment, it happened so fast.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Fire Survivors Not Optimistic on Payouts\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Sonoma County residents, who lived through the Tubbs Fire in 2017, said the bankruptcy news was not a surprise, and many seemed resigned to the possibility that fire victims may have to get in line with shareholders, stockholders and creditors before getting any payout from PG&E.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'I really didn't think [PG&E] needed to declare bankruptcy ...

"content": "\u003cp>\u003cem>Updated 5:45 p.m. Thursday \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After a 15-month investigation into the deadliest of the 2017 Northern California wildfires, Cal Fire on Thursday announced that PG&E equipment was not responsible for starting the Tubbs Fire — the catastrophic blaze that swept over the hills from just outside Calistoga into Santa Rosa.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The fire killed 22 people, destroyed more than 5,000 homes and was responsible for as much as $10 billion in insured property losses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Cal Fire investigation found that \"a private electrical system adjacent to a residential structure\" caused the fire. The agency said that it had not found any violations of state law connected to the fire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>PG&E, which has disputed suggestions that its power lines sparked the fire, is facing hundreds of lawsuits related to the Tubbs Fire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a federal court filing last month, the company argued that privately maintained power lines at a home at 1128 Bennett Lane, near Highway 128 outside Calistoga — the point where the Tubbs Fire began just before 10 p.m. on Oct. 8, 2017 — sparked the deadly blaze.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>PG&E's filing \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11715439/pge-says-unlicensed-electrical-work-may-have-sparked-tubbs-fire-disaster\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">said that a caretaker on the property\u003c/a> had undertaken a series of unpermitted, unlicensed repairs on the lines and that there was evidence that equipment was involved in the start of the fire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cal Fire's \u003ca href=\"http://calfire.ca.gov/fire_protection/downloads/FireReports/17LNU010045_tubbs_le80_Redacted.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">80-page investigative report\u003c/a> says it found no evidence that PG&E equipment ignited the blaze,\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The agency's investigator on the case, John Martinez, said determining the precise cause of the fire was difficult because the blaze consumed so much of the evidence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Martinez noted the presence of a privately owned power pole that may have been involved in the ignition. Martinez said the property's caretaker had described the pole as \"woodpeckered so damn bad\" that he intended to replace it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The investigator noted that the pole was nearly completely consumed in the fire, suggesting that it may have snapped and fallen onto the residence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I eliminated all other causes for the Tubbs Fire,\" Martinez wrote in his conclusion, \"with the exception of an electrical-caused fire originating from an unknown event affecting privately owned conductor (power lines) or equipment.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cal Fire had previously determined that PG&E equipment was responsible for 18 of the more than 170 wildfires that swept Northern California in October 2017. The fire agency said it had found evidence that the utility may have violated state law in 11 of those incidents and referred cases to local prosecutors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Frank Pitre, one of the attorneys involved in the Tubbs Fire litigation, said Thursday he was unconvinced by the Cal Fire findings on the blaze's origin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have evidence that suggests that the origin of the fire is not the place that’s identified by Cal Fire,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That evidence involves a pair of fuses that blew on a PG&E power pole along the road adjacent to 1128 Bennett Lane. The fuses, which melt and expel hot metal when they detect a fault on a power line, may have dropped hot metal into roadside vegetation that PG&E has acknowledged it failed to clear as required by state law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last year, plaintiffs' investigators found evidence of metal in the area where the fuses blew.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pitre added that he believes PG&E should have proactively turned off the power the night of the North Bay fires -- a precautionary step it didn't start taking until last fall's fire season.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If PG&E had implemented a de-energization policy and been proactive, we never would have had the Tubbs Fire,\" Pitre said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Patrick McCallum, who lost his home in the Tubbs Fire and has been lobbying on behalf of fire victims in the state Capitol for the past year, agreed that the Cal Fire report isn't the last word in the fight between the utility and fire victims.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"My first thought was, 'Oh my God, what is this going to do for the victims [whose] ... ability to restore their lives and rebuild were dependent on this,' \" he said. \"Then my rational side came in -- and it's not over.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McCallum noted that many of the people in Sonoma County were underinsured, because of the high property costs, and so are depending on being able to sue PG&E to make up the difference. He said Tubbs Fire victims should contact their lawyers and keep fighting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As recently as Nov. 5, in \u003ca href=\"https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/75488/000100498018000015/pge-093018x10q.htm#s3DC8A6F7961A529692A36201BF7CAE60\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">a quarterly filing\u003c/a> with the Securities and Exchange Commission, PG&E said the company had concluded it was \"probable\" it would incur losses due to claims arising from some of the October 2017 blazes -- including the Redwood Fire in Mendocino County, which killed nine people, and Nuns Fire in Sonoma County, which killed three. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Commenting on several other wildfires, including the Tubbs Fire, PG&E said in the same document it had \"not concluded that a loss arising from those fires is probable\" -- a judgment the company said could change as new facts emerged. \u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch3>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/tag/pge\">PG&E Bankruptcy: How We Got Here\u003c/a>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/tag/pge\">\u003cimg src=\"https://u.s.kqed.net/2019/01/14/PGEWorkersLift.jpg\" alt=\"\">\u003c/a>\u003c/figure>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Nevertheless, the utility earlier this month \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11718176/what-does-pges-bankruptcy-mean-for-you\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">announced\u003c/a> it plans to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection because it faces at least $30 billion in potential liabilities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those possible liabilities stem from other fires that started in October 2017 and from last November's Camp Fire in Butte County, which killed 86 people and destroyed nearly 14,000 homes in and around the community of Paradise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a statement after Cal Fire's announcement on the Tubbs Fire, PG&E emphasized the legal and financial hurdles ahead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Regardless of today’s announcement, PG&E still faces extensive litigation, significant potential liabilities and a deteriorating financial situation,” the company said. \"Resolving the legal liabilities and financial challenges stemming from the 2017 and 2018 wildfires will be enormously complex and will require us to address multiple stakeholder interests, including thousands of wildfire victims and others who have already made claims and likely thousands of others we expect to make claims.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>PG&E's declared intention to seek bankruptcy protection has \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11719917/pge-says-bankruptcy-could-take-3-years-as-shareholders-fight-filing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">drawn criticism\u003c/a> from investors who say the company remains solvent and is failing in its duty to shareholders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The news from Cal Fire that PG&E did not cause the devastating 2017 Tubbs Fire is yet another example of why the company shouldn't be rushing to file for bankruptcy, which would be totally unnecessary and bad for all stakeholders,” said a spokesperson for BlueMountain Capital Management, an investor critical of the bankruptcy plan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Victims like McCallum are also skeptical that PG&E actually needs to file for Chapter 11 protections.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The very strength of the lawsuits against PG&E helps the company argue for bankruptcy, said Stanford law professor Robert Rabin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"A strong case can be made out that faulty maintenance and faulty attention to vegetation surrounding the power lines was negligent, perhaps grossly negligent, on the part of PG&E,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But if a bankruptcy judge consolidates some of the hundreds of lawsuits against PG&E, fire victims could see smaller settlements. That's why Rabin expects to see fire plaintiffs, their lawyers and shareholders continue to fight the possible bankruptcy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They would like to see their clients reimbursed for as close to complete recovery of the loss that they suffered as they could,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But California Gov. Gavin Newsom said only PG&E leadership can answer the question of whether bankruptcy protection is necessary.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They will make that determination. The state of California cannot make that determination for them. They have the right to make that determination and we will respond accordingly,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/PCG?p=PCG&.tsrc=fin-srch\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">PG&E shares,\u003c/a> which have been battered since the company disclosed its equipment might have been involved in igniting the Camp Fire last Nov. 8, were up 75 percent in the hours after Cal Fire released its Tubbs Fire report.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom said he remains in constant contact with PG&E leaders, and remains focused on supporting wildfire victims and ratepayers.

The agency said that it had not found any violations of state law connected to the fire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>PG&E, which has disputed suggestions that its power lines sparked the fire, is facing hundreds of lawsuits related to the Tubbs Fire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a federal court filing last month, the company argued that privately maintained power lines at a home at 1128 Bennett Lane, near Highway 128 outside Calistoga — the point where the Tubbs Fire began just before 10 p.m. on Oct. 8, 2017 — sparked the deadly blaze.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>PG&E's filing \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11715439/pge-says-unlicensed-electrical-work-may-have-sparked-tubbs-fire-disaster\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">said that a caretaker on the property\u003c/a> had undertaken a series of unpermitted, unlicensed repairs on the lines and that there was evidence that equipment was involved in the start of the fire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cal Fire's \u003ca href=\"http://calfire.ca.gov/fire_protection/downloads/FireReports/17LNU010045_tubbs_le80_Redacted.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">80-page investigative report\u003c/a> says it found no evidence that PG&E equipment ignited the blaze,\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The agency's investigator on the case, John Martinez, said determining the precise cause of the fire was difficult because the blaze consumed so much of the evidence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Martinez noted the presence of a privately owned power pole that may have been involved in the ignition. Martinez said the property's caretaker had described the pole as \"woodpeckered so damn bad\" that he intended to replace it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The investigator noted that the pole was nearly completely consumed in the fire, suggesting that it may have snapped and fallen onto the residence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I eliminated all other causes for the Tubbs Fire,\" Martinez wrote in his conclusion, \"with the exception of an electrical-caused fire originating from an unknown event affecting privately owned conductor (power lines) or equipment.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cal Fire had previously determined that PG&E equipment was responsible for 18 of the more than 170 wildfires that swept Northern California in October 2017. The fire agency said it had found evidence that the utility may have violated state law in 11 of those incidents and referred cases to local prosecutors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Frank Pitre, one of the attorneys involved in the Tubbs Fire litigation, said Thursday he was unconvinced by the Cal Fire findings on the blaze's origin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have evidence that suggests that the origin of the fire is not the place that’s identified by Cal Fire,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That evidence involves a pair of fuses that blew on a PG&E power pole along the road adjacent to 1128 Bennett Lane. The fuses, which melt and expel hot metal when they detect a fault on a power line, may have dropped hot metal into roadside vegetation that PG&E has acknowledged it failed to clear as required by state law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last year, plaintiffs' investigators found evidence of metal in the area where the fuses blew.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pitre added that he believes PG&E should have proactively turned off the power the night of the North Bay fires -- a precautionary step it didn't start taking until last fall's fire season.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If PG&E had implemented a de-energization policy and been proactive, we never would have had the Tubbs Fire,\" Pitre said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Patrick McCallum, who lost his home in the Tubbs Fire and has been lobbying on behalf of fire victims in the state Capitol for the past year, agreed that the Cal Fire report isn't the last word in the fight between the utility and fire victims.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"My first thought was, 'Oh my God, what is this going to do for the victims [whose] ... ability to restore their lives and rebuild were dependent on this,' \" he said. \"Then my rational side came in -- and it's not over.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McCallum noted that many of the people in Sonoma County were underinsured, because of the high property costs, and so are depending on being able to sue PG&E to make up the difference. He said Tubbs Fire victims should contact their lawyers and keep fighting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As recently as Nov. 5, in \u003ca href=\"https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/75488/000100498018000015/pge-093018x10q.htm#s3DC8A6F7961A529692A36201BF7CAE60\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">a quarterly filing\u003c/a> with the Securities and Exchange Commission, PG&E said the company had concluded it was \"probable\" it would incur losses due to claims arising from some of the October 2017 blazes -- including the Redwood Fire in Mendocino County, which killed nine people, and Nuns Fire in Sonoma County, which killed three. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Commenting on several other wildfires, including the Tubbs Fire, PG&E said in the same document it had \"not concluded that a loss arising from those fires is probable\" -- a judgment the company said could change as new facts emerged. \u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch3>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/tag/pge\">PG&E Bankruptcy: How We Got Here\u003c/a>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/tag/pge\">\u003cimg src=\"https://u.s.kqed.net/2019/01/14/PGEWorkersLift.jpg\" alt=\"\">\u003c/a>\u003c/figure>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Nevertheless, the utility earlier this month \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11718176/what-does-pges-bankruptcy-mean-for-you\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">announced\u003c/a> it plans to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection because it faces at least $30 billion in potential liabilities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those possible liabilities stem from other fires that started in October 2017 and from last November's Camp Fire in Butte County, which killed 86 people and destroyed nearly 14,000 homes in and around the community of Paradise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a statement after Cal Fire's announcement on the Tubbs Fire, PG&E emphasized the legal and financial hurdles ahead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Regardless of today’s announcement, PG&E still faces extensive litigation, significant potential liabilities and a deteriorating financial situation,” the company said. \"Resolving the legal liabilities and financial challenges stemming from the 2017 and 2018 wildfires will be enormously complex and will require us to address multiple stakeholder interests, including thousands of wildfire victims and others who have already made claims and likely thousands of others we expect to make claims.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>PG&E's declared intention to seek bankruptcy protection has \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11719917/pge-says-bankruptcy-could-take-3-years-as-shareholders-fight-filing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">drawn criticism\u003c/a> from investors who say the company remains solvent and is failing in its duty to shareholders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The news from Cal Fire that PG&E did not cause the devastating 2017 Tubbs Fire is yet another example of why the company shouldn't be rushing to file for bankruptcy, which would be totally unnecessary and bad for all stakeholders,” said a spokesperson for BlueMountain Capital Management, an investor critical of the bankruptcy plan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Victims like McCallum are also skeptical that PG&E actually needs to file for Chapter 11 protections.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The very strength of the lawsuits against PG&E helps the company argue for bankruptcy, said Stanford law professor Robert Rabin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"A strong case can be made out that faulty maintenance and faulty attention to vegetation surrounding the power lines was negligent, perhaps grossly negligent, on the part of PG&E,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But if a bankruptcy judge consolidates some of the hundreds of lawsuits against PG&E, fire victims could see smaller settlements. That's why Rabin expects to see fire plaintiffs, their lawyers and shareholders continue to fight the possible bankruptcy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They would like to see their clients reimbursed for as close to complete recovery of the loss that they suffered as they could,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But California Gov. Gavin Newsom said only PG&E leadership can answer the question of whether bankruptcy protection is necessary.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They will make that determination. The state of California cannot make that determination for them. They have the right to make that determination and we will respond accordingly,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/PCG?p=PCG&.tsrc=fin-srch\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">PG&E shares,\u003c/a> which have been battered since the company disclosed its equipment might have been involved in igniting the Camp Fire last Nov. 8, were up 75 percent in the hours after Cal Fire released its Tubbs Fire report.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom said he remains in constant contact with PG&E leaders, and remains focused on supporting wildfire victims and ratepayers. But if the company's finances get handed over to a bankruptcy court next week, it's unclear how much power Newsom -- or any other state leaders -- will be able to exert.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>KQED's Marisa Lagos, Lily Jamali, Lisa Pickoff-White and Ted Goldberg contributed to this report. \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>PG&E has released new details about the start of one of California’s most devastating wildfires — the October 2017 Tubbs Fire — in a court filing that appears to shift blame onto a handyman the company says performed unlicensed electrical work on a rural property near Calistoga.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"https://assets.documentcloud.org/documents/5673425/PG-E-Supplement-to-Tubbs-Incident-Description.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">PG&E report\u003c/a> is part of a 390-page federal court filing submitted Monday in which the company \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11708517/judge-to-pge-explain-any-role-you-had-in-camp-fire\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">was required to describe\u003c/a> any role it played in starting a devastating series of fires in the fall of 2017 or in igniting the Camp Fire, which killed 86 people in Butte County in November.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cal Fire is responsible for investigating the blazes and determining their cause. The agency has found that PG&E equipment was involved in starting 18 of the blazes that raced through parts of Northern California starting the night of Oct. 8, 2017. Cal Fire referred 11 of those cases to prosecutors in Sonoma, Napa, Mendocino, Lake, Butte and Yuba counties.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So far, however, the firefighting agency has not announced its determination in the Tubbs Fire. That blaze started outside Calistoga and, driven by winds gusting over 60 mph, sped over the hills to Santa Rosa, where it destroyed several neighborhoods. All told, the fire killed 22 people and incinerated about 5,500 homes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Report Based on Lawsuit Testimony\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>PG&E’s newly filed report on the Tubbs blaze presents an account based largely on depositions taken during ongoing litigation arising from the fire. It backs up \u003ca href=\"https://www.pressdemocrat.com/news/7620500-181/pge-contends-private-power-line\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">earlier company assertions\u003c/a> that electrical equipment owned and maintained by a third party — not PG&E — touched off the conflagration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The PG&E document zeroes in on what it describes as customer-owned power lines on an oak-covered 10-acre property on Bennett Lane, 2.5 miles northwest of downtown Calistoga, which was the part-time home of Ann M. Zink.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>PG&E ran power from its lines along Bennett Lane to Zink’s hillside house. From there, the company says, electricity was distributed to a carport, garage, guesthouse, swimming pool and well by way of lines that Zink owned.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Specifically, customer-owned lines extended from the house to a customer-owned pole located adjacent to the house. Two customer-owned lines branched off from this pole to feed power to different areas on the property,” PG&E’s report says. “One of those lines ran to two other customer-owned power poles on the property, powering a water pump and a water storage tank.

"content": "\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003cp>PG&E has released new details about the start of one of California’s most devastating wildfires — the October 2017 Tubbs Fire — in a court filing that appears to shift blame onto a handyman the company says performed unlicensed electrical work on a rural property near Calistoga.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"https://assets.documentcloud.org/documents/5673425/PG-E-Supplement-to-Tubbs-Incident-Description.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">PG&E report\u003c/a> is part of a 390-page federal court filing submitted Monday in which the company \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11708517/judge-to-pge-explain-any-role-you-had-in-camp-fire\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">was required to describe\u003c/a> any role it played in starting a devastating series of fires in the fall of 2017 or in igniting the Camp Fire, which killed 86 people in Butte County in November.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cal Fire is responsible for investigating the blazes and determining their cause. The agency has found that PG&E equipment was involved in starting 18 of the blazes that raced through parts of Northern California starting the night of Oct. 8, 2017. Cal Fire referred 11 of those cases to prosecutors in Sonoma, Napa, Mendocino, Lake, Butte and Yuba counties.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So far, however, the firefighting agency has not announced its determination in the Tubbs Fire. That blaze started outside Calistoga and, driven by winds gusting over 60 mph, sped over the hills to Santa Rosa, where it destroyed several neighborhoods. All told, the fire killed 22 people and incinerated about 5,500 homes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Report Based on Lawsuit Testimony\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>PG&E’s newly filed report on the Tubbs blaze presents an account based largely on depositions taken during ongoing litigation arising from the fire. It backs up \u003ca href=\"https://www.pressdemocrat.com/news/7620500-181/pge-contends-private-power-line\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">earlier company assertions\u003c/a> that electrical equipment owned and maintained by a third party — not PG&E — touched off the conflagration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The PG&E document zeroes in on what it describes as customer-owned power lines on an oak-covered 10-acre property on Bennett Lane, 2.5 miles northwest of downtown Calistoga, which was the part-time home of Ann M. Zink.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>PG&E ran power from its lines along Bennett Lane to Zink’s hillside house. From there, the company says, electricity was distributed to a carport, garage, guesthouse, swimming pool and well by way of lines that Zink owned.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Specifically, customer-owned lines extended from the house to a customer-owned pole located adjacent to the house. Two customer-owned lines branched off from this pole to feed power to different areas on the property,” PG&E’s report says. “One of those lines ran to two other customer-owned power poles on the property, powering a water pump and a water storage tank. That line was strung along trees down the hill, and connected to and powered a pump located in Ms. Zink’s well on Bennett Lane.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Caretaker’s Role\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The document quotes witness depositions to describe an incident eight months before the Tubbs Fire in which the property’s longtime caretaker, Michael Andrews, reportedly tried to resolve a problem with one of Zink’s power lines.

The broken pole, at least 10 feet long, remained suspended in the air supported by Ms. Zink’s electrical lines for approximately a week.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>PG&E says that with the help of a contractor who also was not licensed to do electrical work, Andrews installed a new pole and reattached the sagging power lines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Even though the lines had been suspended in the air for about a week — supporting a portion of broken pole at least 10 feet in length — Mr. Andrews did not replace the lines or connection, but reattached the same lines to the new pole using the old connection,” the report says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The PG&E report does not offer an explanation for how this impromptu repair might have led to further problems on the power line.
