Soĺ Cal fires

They all all in High Fire potential areas.

It’s a result of Inverse condemnation judgments (lawsuits) in California

“Inverse condemnation is a strict-liability cause of action. The entity did not have to act negligently or violate regulations to be held liable for the damage ...”

So the utility company just shuts their stuff off so they don’t get sued if someone’s overgrown unkempt tree falls into pier lines and starts or even keeps a fire going.
Something similar was just on KNX. Fellow all up tight about the power outages since he's been blacked out for more than 48 hours and 10 miles away from the closest fire.
