PG&E Fights Criminal Charges Over 2019 California Wildfire By Joel Rosenblatt and Mark Chediak | May 13, 2021
Utility giant PG&E Corp. rejected criminal liability for its role in a 2019 wildfire that burned 78,000 acres in Northern California, arguing that a local prosecutor is twisting state law in an attempt to find the company culpable.
Sonoma County District Attorney Jill Ravitch last month charged PG&E with with 33 counts stemming from the Kincade Fire. In a state court filing Tuesday, the utility said it has accepted regulators’ conclusions that the fire was caused by PG&E’s equipment but will contest the 25 counts that have never been applied to a wildfire.
