PG&E said that it “strongly disagrees” with claims in a recent report that the company deliberately put off upgrades and repairs on equipment that caused a fatal inferno in Butte County in 2018, according to a court filing from the utility on Wednesday.

San Francisco-based PG&E issued the court-ordered response after the Wall Street Journal reported the company failed to maintain its equipment, despite the danger of wildfires.
