Pacific Gas & Electric has been striving to remove trees and vegetation from the vicinity of its power lines to reduce the fire danger, according to spokesperson Paul Moreno in an email to The Sacramento Bee in October.
“In response to the increased risk of fire danger brought on by climate change and drought, we are doing more to ensure PG&E facilities are safe and reliable,” Moreno wrote.
