(KERO) — All criminal charges against Pacific Gas and Electric regarding the 2020 Zogg Fire have been dismissed by a California judge.
The decision comes after a tentative court order found there was no evidence that inspections in the area were below industry standards.
PG&E has agreed to a $50 million civil settlement with most of the money going toward support organizations that are helping those affected by the blaze.
