California regulators are threatening to escalate enforcement action against utility giant PG&E Corp. for safety lapses at the same time as a federal judge is probing the company’s role in starting the second biggest-wildfire in the state’s history.

California Public Utilities Commission President Marybel Batjer said she’s asking the agency’s staff to investigate whether PG&E should be placed into a higher level of oversight for a pattern of self-reported missed inspections and other safety incidents, according to a letter sent Wednesday to PG&E Chief Executive Officer Patricia Poppe.
