Item 8.01 Other Events.

According to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (“Cal Fire”) and the United States Forest Service (“USFS”), on September 6, 2022, a wildfire known as the Mosquito fire ignited near OxBow Reservoir in Placer County, California.

According to the incident update posted by the USFS, which assumed command of the 2022 Mosquito fire from Cal Fire, as of September 25, 2022, the fire had consumed 76,781 acres, destroyed 78 structures, damaged 13 structures and was 60% contained. The incident update did not indicate that injuries or fatalities had occurred in connection with the fire.

The USFS has indicated to Pacific Gas and Electric Company (the “Utility”), a subsidiary of PG&E Corporation, an initial assessment that the fire started in the area of the Utility’s power line on National Forest System lands and that the USFS is performing a criminal investigation into the 2022 Mosquito fire. On September 24, 2022, the USFS removed and took possession of one of the Utility’s transmission poles and attached equipment. The Utility’s investigation is ongoing.
