CAL Fire said in a news release on Wednesday that electrical lines owned and operated by PG&E started the fire early November 8.

“The tinder dry vegetation and Red Flag conditions consisting of strong winds, low humidity and warm temperatures promoted this fire and caused extreme rates of spread, rapidly burning” through parts of California, CAL Fire said.

PG&E did not immediately respond to a request for comment. However, in April the company said it was

“probable” that its equipment started the Camp Fire.

The power company has been in a state of transition for most of the year. It filed for bankruptcy

in January as it came under pressure from billions of dollars in claims tied to deadly wildfires.
