Fire officials are saying PG&E might be responsible for the Campfire Wildfire that has technically wiped out the community of Paradise. Channel 13 is reporting they obtained a report that PG&E described a power outage incident at 6:15 am Thursday on the Caribu-Palermo 115 KV transmission line in Butte County. Cal Fire recorded an official fire in that area 28 minutes later. The report by PG&E also noticed a tower on the power line was damaged one mile Northeast of Pulga, the exact origin of the Camp Fire. PG&E has stated they are cooperating with public safety officials in the investigation of the cause of the fire.
