Chapter one: THE RUN TO FAILURE POLICY
The severely worn parts found in the Bay Area showed the same kind of wear that caused a power line to fall in Butte County, sparking the 2018 Camp Fire.
The Camp Fire was sparked by PG&E’s Caribou-Palermo transmission line, which was even older than the line was originally identified as in PG&E’s lab report. Built in 1921, the line was 97 years old when it failed.

These photos taken by PG&E and obtained by ABC10 show other severely worn hooks and their hanger plates from along the Caribou-Palermo transmission line. A broken hook on the line sparked the fire and PG&E crews were allowed to collect evidence in the criminal case against the company because no qualified contractors would do the work for prosecutors. An internal PG&E lab report also obtained by ABC10 showed PG&E knew parts showed this extent of wear on older transmission lines as early as seven months before the Camp Fire sparked.

ROCHESTER, Pa. (AP) – Ten years of planning, ten years of want ads and hope and worry ended one day in October when Don Kretschmann realized it wasn t going to work; no one was going to step in.
This was going to be the last harvest at Kretschmann Family Organic Farm.
Come spring, the Beaver County farm will be idle for the first time since he first turned the soil there in the spring of 1979. Mr. Kretschmann is retiring after failing to find someone to take over his 80-acre operation. I just thought somebody would come, the 71-year-old self-taught farmer said. Nothing worked out there unless some miracle happens.
