A 2018 wildfire that killed three people and destroyed more than 1,600 structures in Southern California was sparked by utility equipment in fierce winds, according to a redacted investigative report determining the origin of the fire.

The report was released this week after Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge William Highberger said a delay caused by a California attorney general's office investigation no longer outweighed the public's right to know the cause of the fire.

This is damn crazy!

Fires are going to start. Wether they blaze out of control in an insanely dry landscape is another matter

A WINDSTORM knocked power lines down that sparked a wildfire. Let’s blame the power company. So if a hurricane creates a storm surge into a town do we blame the water department?

😔

Did ballots go up in flames or are all votes safe?

I’m surprised CNN isn’t blaming Trump for that?

Every neighborhood should have a fire hose & neighbors trained on how to use it.

If only they had a rake....

Oh I thought climate change caused all this lol

Ah yes, climate change strikes again..,

Electricity has caused more damage to the environment than all of humanity! Why do people continue to demand it?

I thought it was Aunt Teefa who started the fire.

Nooooooo Uncle Joooooooooeeeeeeyyyyyyyy
