這家電力公司疑似跟起火原因有關，而且已經不是第一次。常被主管機關監督提醒管理不周，沒有徹底清理管線附近枯死的樹木，導致樹木倒在管線出問題。但是即便這樣，火災仍時有所聞。看來加州的有關當局監督歸監督，好像也拿這家公司沒辦法。『他好大我們管不動？』，看來正義的問題世界各地都面臨到。
所以這是天災，還是人禍呢？有人失去生命，有人雖保住，但人生又要重頭來一遍。有人甚至連居住的地方都成問題。
另有一說比較陰謀論是DEW，這是個簡寫Direct Energy Weapon。導能武器。『認為這場火災來得沒有邏輯。車輛在沙灘上融化，樹木卻活下來，房屋像冒煙的灰燼。 這些火災是有意圖的，也是影武者與愛國者川普之間戰爭的一部分。 影武者弄出火災以便獲得緊急援助的聯邦資金。這是偽旗事件，意圖分散佛羅里達州與亞利桑那州的選舉舞弊。』這段敘述看看就好。
人命關天，如果真正在乎民眾的生命與財產，州政府就會傾全力管理的滴水不漏，不會讓累犯一犯再犯，怎麼會讓這樣的事一再發生。所以這當中似乎有些不尋常的事在進行著~

其中一篇的全文
加州小鎮在發生致命大火的前一天，太平洋天然氣電力公司曾發email給一位居民，有關起火花的問題。這家大型公司聯絡貝絲安，說他們需要進入她的物產裡面，因為管線冒出火花。
這次出火原因仍在調查，已知的是起火點在貝絲安物產所在的普加小鎮。波及到隔壁的城鎮，造成數十位居民死亡。
禮拜一火災調查員宣布在圍繞貝絲安物產周圍的管線是災禍現場，保安人員不讓太平洋天然氣電力公司的人經過。
貝絲安說當她接獲一封讓她吃驚的郵件時，她上禮拜三正在度假。相關報導，連同過去這家電力公司在加州野火紀錄曾有的關聯，再度讓他們列入被調查的對象。
貝絲安說，電子郵件上表明工作人員需要到她的房產檢查電力線。天然氣電力公司告訴她「他們遇到火花問題，」她說。他們要到她的房產，但她說她週三不在那裡，不知道他們看出什麼。
貝絲安禮拜一回到家，謝天謝地65棟建築物還在，離災禍現場只距離幾百英尺，調查人員還在深入調查到底什麼引發這場大火。
她之前從事園藝在2015年買下Pulga，一座廢棄破舊有採金歷史的小鎮，展開裝修計畫，改造成風景如畫的私人場地。她清理雜草蔓生的的灌木林，粉刷屋子加入新的元素。憑藉灣區的藝術家和建築師，她讓一個小鎮新生，有舞台和學校。一年前，她開始對外招商，租給公司行號。
當她靠近自己家的附近時，她把手舉到臉頰。「沒了，」她說。 我所有的東西都在那裡，全都沒了。」她停下來，拿起一個杯子，但總算倖存下來。「沒關係」，貝絲安靜靜告訴自己。「沒關係。」
PG&E天然氣電力公司拒絕透露傳給貝絲安的電子郵件，稱其已向州立主管機構
提供『初步的電力意外報告』，並將全力配合任何調查
對外PG＆E表示，他們在靠近災禍第一現場遇到電力傳輸問題，就在火災爆發前幾分鐘。
該公司周五向州立公共電力委員會文件解說時，它檢測出火災現場附近的傳輸線路中斷。它說隨後的空中勘查也發現到輸電塔的線路損壞。起火區域根據PG&E所說，在百姓貝絲安家裡偵測到大致是一樣的。
這家電力公司已經數次受到批評與起訴，在加州幾件大型且致命的火災事件中。在大火發生前曾宣布可能關閉九個郡的發電，其中包括普爾加和天堂鎮所在的標特郡，因為有極度的火災危險。但從來沒有真正付諸實行。
週四稍晚，PG＆E表示決定不再停電，因為氣候無法保證。
州參議員傑里希爾，紅木城民主黨員，長期關注這家電力公司，稱PG＆E在該區的線路問題非常令人擔憂。
「如果PG＆E被認定跟這次幾乎要燒掉整個州有責任，在某些時候，我們必須說真得夠了，我們不得不問還要讓這家公司在加州繼續營業嗎？」希爾說。「這些火災引發火花，至少在過去幾年，火災是因為PG＆E的疏忽行為所造成的。我們需要檢視如何讓他們負起責任，或是看看做生意的另外替代方法。」
加州電力主管單局正跟CalFire(消防)單位一起合作，分別調查PG＆E是否遵守州立火災相關法規。
加州公共電力委員會也會調查PG&E的設備保養、植被管理、以及緊急應對。該委員會發言人Terrie Prosper.表示
這不是第一次PG&E的管理被質疑，在這嚴重乾旱的州。
2014年，主管機構下令該州投資者所擁有的電力公司，要將檢查與清理電線附近的枯死樹木設為優先事項，並警告『氣候變遷會加劇野火威脅到周遭的設施施』。
但是，在一場野火導致兩人死亡，摧毀了475棟房屋，並於次年在內華達山麓燒毀了7萬英畝土地後，屋主與委任律師質疑PG＆E是否確實做到清理影響管線的樹枝。2016年，Cal Fire消防局最後發現PG＆E應對此負責，PG＆E及其承包商導致樹木倒在電路管線上。
調查人員已經確定PG＆E的設備，造成2017年北加州的葡萄酒之鄉，造成44人死亡。該公司表示，預計要付出25億美元。
PG&E emailed woman about sparks problems before Butte County Camp Fire
PARADISE, Calif. (AP) - A day before a deadly blaze destroyed a California town, the giant utility Pacific Gas & Electric Co. got in touch with Betsy Ann Cowley, saying they needed access to her property because their power lines were causing sparks.
The cause of the fire is still under investigation. What is known is that it started Thursday near Cowley’s property in the tiny town of Pulga, incinerated the neighboring town of Paradise and killed dozens of people.
On Monday, fire investigators declared the area surrounding power lines on Cowley’s property, in an oak-filled canyon, a crime scene. Security guards would not let PG&E inspectors pass.
Cowley said she was on vacation last Wednesday when she got a surprise email from PG&E. Details of that exchange, described to The Associated Press, combined with the utility’s track record in California wildfire history has again brought the company under scrutiny.
The email said that crews needed to come to her property to work on the high-power lines, Cowley said. PG&E told her “they were having problems with sparks,” she said. They visited her property but she said she wasn’t there Wednesday and was not aware of their findings.
Cowley was back at the property Monday and expressed gratitude at finding most of the 65 structures on it still standing, just a few hundred feet from the crime scene where investigators worked to determine what had happened to spark the massive fire.
The former landscaper bought Pulga, an abandoned and decrepit historic gold prospecting town, in 2015 and embarked on a project that transformed it into a picturesque private destination. She cleared overgrown brush, patched up buildings and added new ones. With Bay Area artists and architects, she recreated a town, complete with a stage and school house. And then, a year ago, she opened for business, renting out Pulga for corporate retreats.
As she reached the site of her own home, she raised her hand to her cheek.“It’s gone,” she said. ’That’s where all my stuff was, but it’s not there anymore. ”She paused and picked up a mug that somehow had survived the inferno. “It’s OK,” Cowley told herself quietly. “It’s OK.”
PG&E declined to discuss the email it sent Cowley with AP, saying it has provided an “initial electric incident report” with state regulators and will fully cooperate with any investigations
Publicly, PG&E has said it experienced a problem on an electrical transmission line near the site of the massive fire, minutes before the blaze broke out.
In its Friday filing to the state Public Utilities Commission, it said it had detected an outage on an electrical transmission line near the site of the blaze. It said a subsequent aerial inspection detected damage to a transmission tower on the line.
The area where CalFire says the blaze started, and where PG&E says sparks were detected on Cowley’s property is roughly the same, according to an AP reporter at the site.
The utility, which has been criticized and sued in a number of other large and deadly fires across California, had announced before the blaze started that it might shut down power in nine counties, including Butte County where Pulga and Paradise are, because of extreme fire danger. But it never did.
Later Thursday, PG&E said it had decided against a power cut because weather conditions did not warrant one.
State Sen. Jerry Hill, a Redwood City Democrat and longtime critic of the utility, called the report of troubles on PG&E’s lines in the area extremely worrisome.
“If PG&E is found responsible for burning down the state again, at some point we have to say enough is enough and we have to ask should this company be allowed to do business in California?” Hill said. “These fires take a spark, and at least in the last few years fires have been caused by negligent behavior by PG&E. We need to see how we can hold them responsible, or look at alternative way of doing business.”
California utility regulators are working with CalFire staff on their own, separate investigation into whether PG&E complied with state rules and regulations in areas that were torched in the fire.
The California Public Utilities Commission will be evaluating PG&E’s maintenance of their facilities, vegetation management and emergency preparedness and response, said commission spokeswoman Terrie Prosper.
This is not the first time PG&E’s management practices have come under question in the drought-stricken state.
In 2014, regulators ordered the state’s investor-owned utilities to set priorities for inspecting and removing dead and sick trees near their power lines, warning that “climate change has facilitated and exacerbated numerous wildfires” that have damaged and threatened their facilities.
But after a wildfire killed two people, destroyed 475 homes and scorched 70,000 acres in the Sierra Nevada foothills the following year, homeowners and their attorneys questioned whether PG&E had done enough to clear dry trees flanking its power lines. In 2016, Cal Fire ultimately found PG&E was responsible for that fire, after tree maintenance by PG&E and its contractors led to a tree falling on a power line.
Investigators have determined that PG&E equipment started several of the 2017 wildfires in Northern California wine country that killed 44 people. The company says it expects to pay more than $2.5 billion.
