Officials are currently investigating whether PG&E’s equipment started the Camp fire six weeks ago in Northern California that leveled the town of Paradise, killed at least 86 people and destroyed close to 15,000 homes. Because the cause of that specific fire hasn’t been determined, it’s not directly part of the commission’s safety examination, although regulators are considering past fires and that the utility’s service is in fire-prone areas.
