BREAKING: PG&E equipment sparked the devastating Camp fire that destroyed nearly 14,000 homes and killed 85 people, most of them elderly, last year.
On Wednesday, Cal Fire spokesman Mike Mohler said the investigation was complicated by a number of factors.
“It was topography, it was the intensity of the fire and the footprint of the fire itself, how large it was,” Mohler said. “A fire investigation is very, very methodical and it takes a lot of time. Our investigators don't have an opportunity to be 80% right, we have to be 100% right and it's about getting closure for the fire survivors and victims."
The Camp fire was the deadliest blaze in state history, and the latest in a series of wind-driven firesMohler said he's"cautiously optimistic" that 2019 will not be a repeat of the last two fire years."We're lucky to get additional precipitation in May in the north and south ... We've prepared for the worst but we're hoping for the best."
