The last batch of fires were, AFAIK, caused by under-maintained PG&E infrastructure. I would not be surprised if it turns out these were, too.

- rented_mule 2y agoLADWP (Los Angeles Department of Water and Power) and SCE (Southern California Edison) provide almost all electricity near these fires. PG&E does not operate in the Los Angeles area: https://www.pge.com/tariffs/assets/pdf/tariffbook/ELEC_MAPS_Service%20Area%20Map.pdf https://www.pge.com/tariffs/assets/pdf/tariffbook/ELEC_MAPS_...
- verteu 2y agoGP is referring to these fires: https://apnews.com/article/af0ec776efd4b3049f7800ff981bff88 https://apnews.com/article/af0ec776efd4b3049f7800ff981bff88 > Pacific Gas & Electric’s outdated equipment ignited wildfires in California that killed more than 100 people, wiped out entire towns and led the company to confess to crimes driven by its greed and neglect. > The decision by U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Dennis Montali clears the way for PG&E to pay $25.5 billion for losses from devastating fires in 2017 and 2018.

- verteu 2y agoWhoops, I did. Thanks for the correction!
- RangerScience 2y agoAh! You’re correct, thank you for the correction. I’ve been LADWP for so long I forgot the rest of the area was SCE. I have a friend who does power pole inspection, and boy, the stories. Infra is crumbling.
