Very grateful this is being aired, with so much nothing burger news clogging up everything it's great to know people are being held accountable. Most fires are by human error. Punishing people and companies for destroying lives will actual stop future idiots from starting these fires. Good job law 👍🏻
So what, they will cut a check for a fraction of their profits and theyll keep doing it.
The people in charge need to be in prison or itll never stop.
For profit
What about frogs? I like frogs. What if your kite wiiiinds around a power line? Call the Kiteman at Pacific Power.
Most murders get sent to jail.
If only the USFS/USDA could be similarly sued for its gross incompetence and criminal negligence starting the Hermit’s Peak/Calf Canyon Fire. But alas, governments are impervious to such measure of justice.
Cut the check ✍️
Hopefully now all these other companies will stop ripping off customers and start doing a better job
