PARADISE, Calif. (KGO) –
Cal Fire radio transmission suggests utility giant PG&E could be to blame for the deadly Camp Fire burning in Butte County.
PG&E shared its initial electric incident report to the Safety and Enforcement Division of the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) with ABC7 News.
Attorney Frank Pitre with Cotchett, Pitre & McCarthy, LLP, is representing victims of the North Bay wildfires against the utility giant.
"At this point in time, more questions than answers," Pitre told ABC7 News. "However, because I've been through, I've seen this movie, this is the 4th time I've seen this movie. I think I know how it's going to end."
"This is not the new normal. This is not climate change. This is a failure of leadership. It's a cultural problem of PG&E," Pitre told ABC7 News.
