We are actively investigating the cause of the Eaton Fire’s ignition in Eaton Canyon near Altadena Drive and Midwick Drive. As of now, the official cause remains under investigation. Evidence suggests, however, that electrical infrastructure owned and operated by Southern California Edison may have played a pivotal role in igniting the Eaton Fire.

• Electrical Transmission Lines: Surveillance footage and eyewitness accounts have indicated that the fire may have started near Southern California Edison’s (SCE) electrical transmission towers in Eaton Canyon. Residents reported seeing flames beneath these towers and hearing a loud pop at the fire’s onset.
• SCE’s Position: Southern California Edison initially stated that preliminary analyses showed no electrical anomalies prior to the fire. More recently, SCE reported a momentary increase in current on its transmission lines in the Eaton Canyon corridor on the day the fire started. The company stated that this fluctuation was within design limits and did not trigger system protections. Despite these assertions, new video evidence has surfaced, showing electrical arcing on an SCE transmission tower shortly before the fire intensified. This footage has led to increased scrutiny of SCE’s equipment and its possible role in sparking the blaze.
• Official Inquiries: Authorities, including CAL FIRE, are conducting thorough investigations to determine the exact cause of the Eaton Fire. This process involves analyzing physical evidence, reviewing surveillance footage, and interviewing witnesses. Determining the definitive cause may take several months The Los Angeles County Fire Department has requested that SCE preserve its transmission facilities near the fire’s origin as part of the ongoing investigation.

It is likely based on preliminary evidence that SCE failed to properly maintain the safety of their power lines and equipment.  We will hold the utility accountable and aggressively pursue compensation for our clients.  Call us today for a free case evaluation: (213) 699-2806
