A woman who lost her home in one of the largest wildfire in U.S. history has filed a lawsuit against Xcel Energy.
Melanie McQuiddy, a resident of Canadian, Texas, alleges the Minnesota-based utility company is responsible for the massive Smokehouse Creek Fire that engulfed her home, according to the court documents filed on March 1. The fire has burned over 1 million acres since it began about one mile north of Stinnett, Texas, in Hutchison County on Feb. 26.
