PG&E faces second lawsuit in connection with Mosquito Fire

Pacific Gas & Electric Co. faces a second lawsuit in connection with a wildfire that destroyed homes and forced thousands in Placer and El Dorado counties to evacuate. The lawsuit, filed on Sept. 29 to the California Superior Court in San Francisco by Frantz Law Group, is on behalf of residents who suffered property losses and damages due to the Mosquito Fire, according to a release. "We allege that our clients suffered fire damages because PG&E once again failed to safely maintain and operate its electrical equipment despite dangerous wildfire conditions that the utility was well aware of," James P. Frantz of the law firm said in the release.
