PG&E Knew there was a problem with the power line, they had difficulty gaining access to private property to address the issue because the owner could not be reached, they should have cut the lock on the gate. Ultimately all the death and destruction was due to them not pursuing the issue more aggressively. We need legislation that allows them and requires them to gain access to problem power lines any way they can, waiting for the property owner to return from vacation was a stupid decision.
Crybaby
Agreed. PGandE should be charged with manslaughter and gross negligence. Just drive through Concord anywhere. Downed transformer on fire in the rain in Concord. Sure they will finish off the entire state by next Thansgiving at this is current rate of negligence. Crybaby needs an education as well as the other douche below.
Why do you cry so much? Maybe we should rake our forest or even use tear gas on women and children. I am sure if PG&E went on private property you would be on the other side bashing them for trespassing. Whaaaaaaaaa crybaby
Glad the fires are 100% contained. People that play the blame game are arrogant know it all’s. They have no idea what they’re talking about.
