A $225 million lawsuit was filed against Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) in connection with the Dixie Fire that burned more than 963,000 acres across five Northern California counties in 2021.
SAN FRANCISCO - A $225 million lawsuit was filed against Pacific Gas and Electric for damages caused in connection with the Dixie Fire that burned across five Northern California counties in 2021. The plaintiffs in the lawsuit, which was filed in the San Francisco County Superior Court, are the owners of the Collins Almanor Forest, located in Plumas and Tehama counties.
'The day before the fire, these trees were part of a thriving, sustainably-managed commercial forest; the day after the fire, those trees were virtually worthless - amounting to only what could be salvaged of the burned logs,' said Edward Duckers, partner at Stoel Rives and counsel for Plaintiffs. 'Further, the unique environmental value of this forest is permanently lost and can never be replaced, all due to PG&E's negligence.
