for them to look at. we don't have anything specific right now. >> reporter: this area is covered with power lines. they run nearly every direction to and from the hydroelectric facilities here, and we never did see any transmission wires down, but we did see this: a group from pg&e with some telescopic equipment, following the river and presumably taking a look at those lines running along the ridge, over on the west side. the fire burned out of here on thursday and came right back up the river today. crews still fighting planes quite actively right now, back in the river canyon. as for the investigation, you know what we know. a lot of folks are clearly poking around. they've got the area presumably where things started, secured. we will find out eventually whether or not that was the ignition point, and what might have caused it. pg&e with no comment. they say they are looking into
