Electric company Pacific Gas & Electric Co. says it will fully cooperate with any investigations, as the deadly Camp fire ravages parts of Northern California.

The utility company reportedly told state regulators Friday, it experienced a problem with a major electrical transmission line at one of its sites just moments before the fire broke out.

The blaze completely destroyed the city of Paradise, which had the population of roughly 26,000 people.

The company says it later observed damage to a transmission tower near that city.

A company spokesperson says these reports are preliminary and the cause of the fire remains under investigation.

President Trump has suggested that poor management from California’s forestry service was to blame for the disasters and threatened pull funding if changes are not made.
