CA: Lawsuit alleges video shows what started Eaton Fire in LA

Source: Fox News

“A new lawsuit is alleging that a local utility company is at fault for sparking the deadly Eaton Fire around Los Angeles, California, after surveillance video shows what lawyers say may have started the fire. ‘We believe this video shows arcing on an SCE (Southern California Edison) electrical tower and a fire blazing up immediately below those sparks,’ Edelson PC founder Jay Edelson shared with Fox News Digital. ‘Along with other evidence we have obtained, we believe that the video is compelling evidence that SCE’s faulty equipment and poor decision-making caused the Eaton fire.’ Attorneys for the law firm allege that the video, which was edited to point out the blaze, shows sparks igniting and falling onto the dry hillside. Minutes after the sparks started jumping, a flash of light can be seen, and within 10 minutes, the entire hillside was up in flames, according to the video shared by Edelson.” (01/29/25)
