A detailed report on the origin and causes of three devastating wildfires that swept across San Diego County in October is being released online.

California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection spokeswoman Janet Upton says the lengthy report on the Witch Creek, Guejito  and Rice Canyon fires will be posted Wednesday on the agency's Web site, www.fire.ca.gov.

Cal Fire said in a statement less than a month after the fires that all three had been caused by power lines or equipment owned by San Diego Gas & Electric. Additional details were not released, pending further investigation.

Hundreds of fire victims have been involved in at least nine lawsuits against the power company.

The fires left two people dead and destroyed more than 1,300 homes.
