Pacific Gas & Electric, the nation’s largest utility, reported to California regulators that its equipment may have been involved in the start of the Dixie Fire burning in the Sierra Nevada.
The utility said in a filing Sunday that a repair man responding to a circuit outage July 13 spotted blown fuses in a conductor atop a pole, a tree leaning into the conductor and fire at the base of the tree.
PG&E equipment has repeatedly been linked to major wildfires, including the 2018 blaze that ravaged the Northern California town of Paradise.
