PG&E offers state little explanation about canceled power shut off before Camp fire
In a report filed with state regulators Tuesday, Pacific Gas & Electric Company offered little explanation about why it failed to shut off power in Butte County before the deadliest wildfire in California history.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation and it's unclear if a planned outage would have prevented the devastation. PG&E reported problems with a high-voltage transmission line and a less powerful circuit shortly before and after the fire started.
