A recent lawsuit claims that a local utility company may be responsible for starting the deadly Eaton Fire near Los Angeles, California. The lawsuit alleges that surveillance video footage shows arcing on an SCE (Southern California Edison) electrical tower, which lawyers believe may have ignited the fire.
The law firm representing the case, Edelson PC, asserts that the video provides compelling evidence of SCE's faulty equipment and poor decision-making leading to the Eaton fire. The footage, edited to highlight the blaze, reportedly shows sparks falling onto a dry hillside, followed by a rapid spread of flames.
