  1. In 2020, Oregon faced one of its most devastating wildfire seasons. • Lives lost, homes destroyed, and ecosystems shattered. • But when the flames died down, a burning question remained: Who was responsible?"

  2. September 7, 2020, marked the beginning of a nightmare for Oregonians. • A series of wildfires, driven by strong winds and dry conditions, engulfed over a million acres.

  3. With over 70% of these fires caused by human activities, eyes turned to PacifiCorp. • Allegations arose that their decision to keep power lines energized during extreme weather conditions led to several fires.

  4. In a historic verdict, a Portland jury found PacifiCorp liable for the catastrophic fires. • They were ordered to pay $90 million to 17 plaintiffs, a decision that set a precedent for future lawsuits.

  5. Following this verdict, PacifiCorp settled several lawsuits, including paying $299 million to victims of the Archie Creek Fire. • They also reached a $250 million settlement with timber companies.

  6. The Oregon wildfires serve as a reminder of the threats posed by wildfires and the importance of accountability.
