today's report from cal fire is the first time those suspicions have been put into writing. now the report from cal fire says 12 of the northern california wildfires during the october firestorm were caused by electric power, distribution lines, conductors and the failure of power poles. in some cases these were trees or branches fell into pg&e lines during the high winds preceding the fires, but in at least one instance the pythian fire, cal fire says pg&e line fell but was sparked when the utility tried to reenergize that line. this is just some of the video that kpix5 cameras captured of downed power lines during the october siege and here is what cal fire had to say just a short time ago. >> this has been very intense, very methodical, hundreds of hours from cal fire, law enforcement, the release of 12 fires, four of them that we determined cause was really some different areas of failure just due to mother nature and the wind conditions. the remainder of the fires the investigators determined was there was some type of fault to refer to the district attorney's office to

cal train has multiple functions. they do operations on that yard but they also do staging and storage and maintenance. we looked at the possibility of separating those functions. perhaps some of them could stay on the rail yard, some perhaps underground, some of them could be moved further south. and then the third cop -- component is what do you do with the land that is freed up. we used that aanalysis the same way we did in the transit center to see if changes the zoning allowing more development on that land could create more benefits or revenue to help support the transitsystem. then the fourth component, excuse me, is the potential extension. in the long run what happens if we can extend the trains outside of the transit center? which route would that take? we looked at the possibility of looping it back around if you will. again, adding to the potential capacity as the trains can operate more efficiently and the possibility of going to the east bay as you heard, which would not only increase the capacity of the

for the atlas fire that killed six people and destroyed 783 structures, cal fire is blaming a limb that fell on a pg&e line. ys they've referred their findings to the district at use in some of the fires it's a similar story for the nuns fire that merged with the patrick fire. three people were killed there. a tree hit a pg&e line and that's now getting the blame. it's the same thing with the pocket fire that destroyed six structures, still outstanding, though, the cal fire report on the deadliest fire, the tubbs fire. that's the one that burned into santa rosa. flames killed 22 people as the fire swept into the city destroying the coffey park and fountaingrove neighborhoods. the first of the fires broke out late in the evening of october 8th, powerful winds whipping through the north bay. late this afternoon now in sacramento cal fire says they referred their findings to the district attorney's offices because in some of the fires there is evidence of alleged violations of state law. >> what we saw was i mean record breaking wind event. we had some of the strongest gusts ever recorded

cal fire looked at a series of 12 fires overall and found that in eight of the 12 cases or two-thirds of the instances, they believe pg&e is partly to blame at least for the fires. now the possible violations you are mentioning do vary in the atlas fire for example, a tree limb that fell on a power line and that could be due to a lack of maintenance or not properly clearing the trees but unrelated but cal fire found another fire was by a reen earthing a nower line and a conductor fell to the ground and started the fire. these are the eight fires referred to the appropriate d.a. for investigation. the atlas fire, the adobe, pocket and pie then and patrick norrbom and sulfur and blue fire. a organization suing pg&e said this report is damning. >> this is not an isolated incident. this is a repeat pattern of failure of risk management. at some point in time you have to throw your hands up in the air and say there is a problem with a culture, it is an organizational failure, it is top to bottom and it needs to change. >> reporter: now the p.u.c. is the state agency responsible for oversee

i also want to thank cal train, high speed rail authority, cal trans, mtc who funded this study as well as a number of city departments including mta public works, the ta and others that have been an integral part of this study. i want to start off very quickly just by going over some slides. we realized as we were preparing this round of presentations that would be it helpful for us to remind ourselves about why rail is important to begin with and why we think it's so important to connect the state with rail and get to the sales force transit center. these are some numbers we have put together statewide looking at growth numbers across the state and some very broad projections going into 2065. we have done these projections as part of the larger transportation planning work that we are doing with our sister agencies. we think that it's possible that there may be as much as one-third growth in employment and a 75% or -- excuse me, once growth in population as much as a 75% or so growth if -- in jobs over the next 50 years. those numbers will vary as we get closer. this is an indication

cal fire says it was tree limb on pg&e lines, same with a pocket fire. eight of these cases have been turned over to local district attorneys for possible criminal prosecution. >> different areas may be of clearance of type of equipment. what we do is gather all of that, cause and origin information on state laws that we endorse and then submit that to the district attorney with the investigative report. at that point they will determine what exactly they think the cause and what charges may be filed. >>> the report indicates that in eight cases trees were not sufficiently trained and maintained to keep them away from power lines. cal fire has not put out findings yet for the tubbs fire which was one of the largest. >>> pg&e says in a statement quote the loss of life, homes and businesses in these extraordinary wildfire social -- wildfire s is heartbreaking. -- based on the information we have so far, we continue to believe our overall programs met our state's high standards. pg&e is already indicating it will try to shift some of the blame to some local
