Maybe sue the individuals on the Board of Directors and Officers for their part. Things change when they knowingly do not do what they know they should. No escape from liability then. They have money too.
I believe that's already been established:

Quote:
Preliminary investigations have discovered that PG&E was aware of issues with power lines in the vicinity days before the Camp/Paradise Fire started, and despite advising residents in Butte County that power may be shut off on November 8 and 9 due to risk of wildfire.

PG&E did not turn off the power. On November 8, 2018 at 6:15 a.m., minutes before the Camp/Paradise Fire started, PG&E submitted an electrical incident report to the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC), advising that it had experienced an outage on a transmission line near the Camp/Paradise Fire origin.

And this isn't the first time...

Cal Fire: PG&E equipment caused 12 Northern California fires during October firestorm

And their negligence doesn't stop with electrical transmission lines, they don't maintain gas lines properly either.
