Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) filed for bankruptcy in 2019 after being linked to a eseries of wildfires in California, including the Camp Fire in 2018, which caused 86 deaths and destroyed 14,000 homes, along with more than 500 businesses and 4,300 other buildings.

Understandble - EXCEPT local governments haven't come up with a back-up power plan to power the pumps that would be needed.
