Beachie Creek fire

The Oregon Department of Forestry report comes five years after the 2020 fire, as PacifiCorp pushes for legislation that would limit utilities' wildfire liabilities.

Oregon’s second-largest electrical utility, PacifiCorp, played a significant role in the Labor Day wildfires that ravaged parts of the state in 2020, according to a Multnomah County jury.

The trial, which began at the end of April, wrapped up closing statements from both sides Wednesday in Multnomah County Circuit Court. Now both sides await a verdict.

The defense follows several weeks of plaintiffs' attorneys alleging that PacifiCorp acted negligently by keeping its lines energized during the Labor Day fires.
