A California utility, Southern California Edison, has disclosed that its equipment may have been the cause of a small wildfire in Los Angeles known as the Hurst Fire. This revelation came on the same day as two massive blazes in the area that resulted in the loss of at least 29 lives and the destruction of numerous homes.
The Los Angeles Fire Department is currently investigating the origin of the Hurst Fire and Southern California Edison has stated that it believes its equipment could be linked to the ignition of the blaze. The utility emphasized that without additional evidence, it suspects its equipment's involvement in the Hurst Fire.
