"Xcel Energy Faces Liability for Texas Wildfire"

The Smokehouse Creek Fire in Texas, the state's worst wildfire ever, is suspected to have been caused by a downed Xcel Energy utility pole, according to investigators. The fire has burned over 1 million acres and merged with another nearby fire, resulting in at least two deaths. President Biden has dispatched federal personnel to the area, while Minnesota and northern Wisconsin are also facing an increased risk of wildfires this spring.
