I'm definitely in favour of PG&E getting hit hard for this one due to what appears to be gross negligence on their part.

_But_, doesn't the liability also, in part, apply to the state and/or the federal government? How far did the fire unnecessarily spread? Was the land in the area being properly maintained, with good fire breaks, routine controlled burns etc, or are they skimping like they have been all over the country?
