By BStigers on June 27, 2018.

PG&E, reacting to the state CalFire officials accusing them of being responsible for a majority of the Napa Wild Fires last year, are not exercising a plan they announced earlier this month that they will cut power to homes when a wild fire breaks out. The first incident occurred yesterday when 6800 homes in Chico, Red Bluff and Reading were shot off as Wildfires burned over 10 thousand areas in the area. PG&E said the goal is to reduce the risk of wildfires and is a last resort for public safety.
