LOS ANGELES — A group of homeowners is suing Southern California Edison, claiming that its equipment was to blame for a blaze that destroyed more than 20 homes in Laguna Niguel last week.
The fire swept through an upscale neighborhood on May 11, spurred by robust coastal winds and dry brush starved of moisture due to a drought gripping the West.
The fire was first reported near a water treatment plant shortly before 3 p.m., according to the Orange County Fire Authority.
