PG&E Corp. won't be facing criminal charges in connection to a series of wildfires that hit Northern California's wine country in October 2017, four local district attorneys announced late Tuesday.

PG&E, the state's largest electric utility, filed for bankruptcy protection in late January after getting hit with a flood of lawsuits from devastating wildfires in Northern California in 2017 and 2018.
