Company Committed to Making Things Right for
Those Impacted
PG&E Corporation (NYSE: PCG) shared the following statements
today in regard to criminal charges filed by the Sonoma County
District Attorney’s office related to the October 2019 Kincade
Fire.
“We are saddened by the property losses and
personal impacts sustained by our customers and communities in
Sonoma County and surrounding areas as a result of the October 2019
Kincade Fire, and recognize the courageous efforts and sacrifices
of the first responders who worked to contain the fire and those
who were injured. We are grateful that there was no loss of
life.
In the spirit of working to do what’s right
for the victims, we will accept CAL FIRE’s finding that a PG&E
transmission line caused the fire, even though we have not had
access to the agency’s report or the evidence it gathered.
However, we do not believe there was any
crime here. We remain committed to making it right for all those
impacted and working to further reduce wildfire risk on our
system.”
PG&E Corporation Chief Executive Officer Patti Poppe added
the following, “I came to PG&E in January to ensure that we
care for all those who were harmed, and that we make it safe again
in California. We will work around the clock until that is true for
all people we are privileged to serve.”
Details about PG&E’s efforts to further reduce the growing
wildfire risk, harden its systems, and use new technologies to help
keep its communities safe can be found in the company’s 2021
Wildfire Mitigation Plan.
