Pacific Gas & Electric is still operating a power line near the one that ignited a 2018 wildfire that wiped out the Northern California city of Paradise.
That's the finding of an expert inspector hired by lawyers for wildfire victims who lost family members and homes.
PG&E filed for bankruptcy last year because of $50 billion in claimed losses from wildfires in 2017 and 2018.
The findings released Thursday by the attorneys come as PG&E tries to persuade California Gov. Gavin Newsom the company has turned over a new leaf.
PG&E has told a judge that it inspected 50,000 transmission structures in high-risk areas since the fire.
