Good morning.

(Here’s the sign-up, if you don’t already get California Today by email.)

On Wednesday, about six months after California’s deadliest and most destructive wildfire rampaged through Butte County, decimating the town of Paradise and killing 85 people, state officials announced that Pacific Gas & Electric power lines had started the fire.

As my colleagues Peter Eavis and Ivan Penn reported, advocates for victims of the blaze, known as the Camp Fire, took the announcement as a kind of confirmation — and a starting gun.

“Now the day of reckoning has come,” said Frank Pitre, a lawyer for some of the victims.

The news comes as consumer advocates, lawmakers and courts are working to hold PG&E, which filed for bankruptcy protection in January, accountable for its role in devastating fires without saddling ratepayers with the bill.

Here’s what you need to get caught up:

Didn’t we already know that PG&E equipment sparked the Camp Fire?

Not exactly. PG&E, the state’s largest utility, said in February that it believed it was “probable that its equipment will be determined to be an ignition point of the 2018 Camp Fire.”
