The cause of the fire remains under investigation, according to CalFire. But Butte County District Attorney Mike Ramsey said there's "very little doubt" that power equipment operated by Pacific Gas & Electric helped start the fire.
The utility has been linked to other recent large wildfires.
Describing the circumstances that sparked the Dixie blaze, Ramsey recently told North State Public Radio, "there was a tree into a line, a 12,000-volt line that came down the hill on the opposite side of the Cresta Dam in the Feather River Canyon. And the fire started under that line."
Days after the Dixie Fire ignited, PG&E said its equipment may have been involved in starting the fire.
That's according to a report the utility filed with state regulators.
"The report states that on July 13 a PG&E employee responded to a report of a power outage at Cresta Dam off of Highway 70," Capital Public Radio reported. "The employee reported blown fuses and a tree leaning into a conductor on top of a pole, with fire at the base of the tree."
Okay, Al Gore Troll ?
