July 30 (Reuters) - PG&E Corp said late on Thursday it disagreed with a Northern California prosecutor who said that criminal charges will be filed in last year s Zogg Fire, arguing the California grid operator had already resolved civil claims with the affected county.
Shasta County District Attorney Stephanie Bridgett said in a Facebook post that PG&E was criminally liable for the fire, Bloomberg News reported, adding that a filing decision will be made before the Sept. 27 anniversary of the blaze.
In a statement issued in response to plans by Bridgett s office to file criminal charges against the firm, PG&E said:
