PG&E promises solution after contractors leave behind ‘big mess’ [Video]

CALIFORNIA, USA — 10 On Your Side is getting results for a PG&E customer who says the company’s efforts to prevent fires may have been adding to the problem.

“Water bottles all over. Tree branches hidden behind shrugs,” said an outraged Justin Cristler who decided to email 10 On Your Side.

“I’m reaching out to see if you all would want to cover PG&E contractors coming out for jobs then leaving the jobs unfinished with wood, debris and trash on properties next to power poles to fuel future fires.

“Tree work was left everywhere, and it was just an absolute mess.”
