This video portrait it like an PG&E cpower line started our Chico CA Park fire, which is wr😂 our FRINKING park fire was started by an idiot that was witnessed a man pouring gasoline on his mom's car and then pushed the car over a cliff in our Bidwell upper partk in and the fire then exploded into the high fire it is. Chico CA that's how our Park fire got started,. This is a fact I live in Chico CA and have been following the story on this Chico CA fire ,
