PG&E is blamed for igniting deadly wildfires linked to its power lines, poles and other equipment that killed dozens in California
Pacific Gas and Electric will pay the funds to more than a dozen state public entities for losses from the deadly blazes sparked by its equipment.Most of the funds are related to last year's Camp Fire in Northern California that killed 85 people and destroyed thousands of homes. The hardest-hit town of Paradise, which was left in charred ruins, will get $270 million to resolve wildfire claims.
The Butte Fire was caused by PG&E power lines while the 2017 blazes were blamed on faulty power lines and poles."The County of Butte and PG&E have accepted the mediator's proposal of $252 million to resolve the county's wildfire claims," PG&E said in a statement."The County of Yuba and PG&E have accepted the mediator's proposal of $12.5 million to resolve the county's wildfire claims.
