As the fire burns questions about whether it was pg e equipment the spark the fire. Betty has that part of the story. Reporter pg e said it cut power on distribution lines in the area. Where the fire started. Because of concern over threatening weather. It kept power flowing on their particular stretch of high voltage transmission lines because the winds had not met the shutdown threshold. They simply did not do their job. Reporter the investigation into the start of the kincaid fire is focusing on a broken jumper wire that was found in a transmission tower. Near the geysers Geothermal Power plant.

This one is going to be from the heart of san francisco. The top of the Sales Force Tower looking east towards the plume. Weve been looking at this all day. It is confined to the east bay.
