SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- A federal judge is ordering PG&E's Board of Directors to visit the cities of Paradise and San Bruno. Both suffered devastating fires because of PG&E equipment.

The Paradise fire in November of last year left 85 people dead and destroyed 14,000 homes.

He has also asked the board to meet with city leaders in San Bruno. A gas pipeline explosion there killed 8 people in 2010.

The order came after the court found PG&E violated its probation following the San Bruno explosion and fire.
