More than 200 victims of the Dixie Fire sued PG&E on Wednesday, two days after a federal judge grilled an employee about whether the beleaguered utility could have shut off electricity earlier to a power line suspected of sparking the blaze. The Dixie Fire, which destroyed the Gold Rush town of Greenville, is the second-largest blaze in state history at nearly 1 million acres. In other fire news, the KNP Complex Fire burning in Sequoia National Park came within one mile of the Giant Forest on Wednesday. The forest is home to many iconic giant sequoias, including General Sherman, believed to be the world’s largest tree by volume.
