A few weeks ago, I was flipping channels came came across the Global Warming Weather Channel.
One narrator said a transformer(?) in one of the major fire areas appeared to have been shot? I thought “What in the world?”.

I had not seen that. I do know that the Paradise fire started with the failure of one of PG&E’s HV transmission towers. Towers that they had agreed needed to be replaced because they were structurally weak, and that they had failed to meet their own timetable for the replacement. What seems to be happening with PG&E is that they are skimping on maintenance to help their bottom line. Plus they have had a series of screwups that have cost them a ton of money ( i.e the San Bruno gas line fire, and blowing up a home in Carmel during a citywide gas line lining project). We have a second home in Carmel, and at the end of the day, as part of their settlement with the city, they repaved a lot of the streets there, including the one on which our place is located.
