PG&E: Fire investigation could show utility violated San Bruno probation - SFChronicle.com: Pacific Gas and Electric Co. said Monday that it could have violated terms of its probation if it recklessly maintained power lines in a way that caused recent deadly wildfires, part of a detailed accounting the utility provided to a federal judge about its role in two seasons of historically devastating California conflagrations. PG&E made the admission in response to a series of wildfire-related questions from U.S. District Judge William Alsup, who is overseeing the embattled utility’s probation imposed after its criminal conviction stemming from the deadly 2010 San Bruno pipeline explosion. One of the terms of the five-year probation is that the utility not commit any other crimes.
