On June 8, 2018, the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection announced it determined that 12 Northern California wildfires in the October 2017 fire siege were caused by PG&E electric power and distribution lines, conductors and the failure of power poles.
This news drove the price of PG&E shares down $1.69, or about 4%, to close at $39.76 on June 11, 2018.
More recently, PG&E announced it will record a $2.5 billion pre-tax charge in the current quarter related to certain of those wildfires.
“We’re focused on investors’ losses and whether senior executives knew PG&E’s electrical distribution operations were unreliable and unsafe,” said Hagens Berman partner Reed Kathrein.

Under the new program, whistleblowers who provide original information may receive rewards totaling up to 30 percent of any successful recovery made by the SEC.
