In October 2017, Northern California wildfires burned more than 8,000 homes, desolating lawns, consuming garages, causing smoke damage and killing 40 people. Power lines operated by the Pacific Gas and Electric Company may have contributed to the spark.
Despite the devastating impact, the fires cannot diminish the right to self-defense. Johnson Law Group has partnered with a team of expert investigators that are examining the corporate failures which may be associated with the California wildfires.

Wildfires can cause a range of serious injuries, from burns and smoke inhalation to long-term respiratory problems and emotional trauma. The intense heat and toxic fumes can lead to life-threatening conditions, while the destruction of homes and property can cause lasting psychological effects. If you’ve been injured in a wildfire, seeking legal help can help secure compensation for medical treatment, recovery, and emotional suffering.
