The Camp Fire has become California's most destructive fire in history, having leveled 6,713 structures.
The vast majority were homes: a total of 6,453, authorities said Friday night during a press conference in Chico.
The number of buildings destroyed far surpasses the destruction left behind by the Tubbs Fire in Napa and Sonoma counties. The October 2017 fire wiped out 5,636 structures and killed 22 people.
Officials also confirmed nine fatalities. Five of those victims were found trapped in burned vehicles.

ONCE AGAIN THE USUAL SUSPECT ...IS SUSPECTED:

The Associated Press is reporting that Pacific Gas & Electric Co. says "it experienced a problem on an electrical transmission line" near the Camp Fire minutes before the deadly blaze started.
The statement came after the state's largest utility said in a one-page summary filed Thursday with regulators, it had experienced an outage on the electrical transmission line about 15 minutes before the deadly fire started, according to an Associated Press article.
PG&E later observed damage to a transmission tower on the line near Paradise, the story said. Authorities still haven't determined the cause of the fire.
"Nothing is more important than the safety of our customers, employees, contractors and the communities we serve," PG&E spokeswoman Mayra Tostado said in an email to the Record Searchlight. "The cause of the Camp Fire has not yet been determined. PG&E has provided an initial electric incident report to the Safety and Enforcement Division of the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC). The information provided in this report is preliminary and PG&E will fully cooperate with any investigations

....HOW REASSURING.
