The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection said on Wednesday it had determined that a PG&E electric-transmission line near the town of Pulga, Calif., ignited last year’s Camp Fire, which spread quickly across dry vegetation in the forested foothills of the Sierra Nevada, killing 85 people and destroying the town of Paradise.

A Wall Street Journal investigation found that the company repeatedly delayed maintenance work on the line, a project PG&E had estimated before the fire would cost $30.3 million.
