A video released as part of an ongoing lawsuit against Southern California Edison, the electrical utility for Los Angeles, appears to show what a law firm says is the start of the deadly Eaton Fire.

As the combined death toll between the Eaton and Palisades fires climbs to 29, attorneys suing Southern California Edison released new video they claim shows the possible start of a firestorm that devastated Altadena.

An electric line that was repaired after the deadly Eaton wildfire caught fire last week. The line was less than a mile from the transmission tower that is a focus of investigators probing the wildfire that ignited Jan.

A law firm suing Southern California Edison released an edited video that it says appears show the start of the deadly Eaton Fire in Altadena.

Although the preserve where the Eaton Fire is believed to have started suffered significant damage, many of its oaks and sycamore trees appear to have survived.

Southern California Edison, a unit of utility Edison International , said on Monday preliminary analysis of data showed a "momentary and expected increase in current" on its energized lines in the Eaton Canyon corridor on Jan.

GLENDALE, Calif. (AP) — Southern California Edison on Monday reported a fault on a power line connected miles away from ones located near the origin of the Eaton Fire, the deadly blaze that ignited outside of Los Angeles on Jan. 7 and killed at least 17 people.

Los Angeles County officials are calling for an independent review of emergency notification systems after some residents argued that earlier warnings might have saved lives.

Southern California Edison, a unit of utility Edison International, said today preliminary analysis of data showed a “momentary and expected increase in current” on its energized lines in the Eaton Canyon corridor on Jan.

High-voltage power lines saw a temporary surge in electrical current in the area where the deadly Eaton Fire is believed to have started, Southern California Edison said.

The utility company maintained that the current increase remained within the design limits and did not trigger system protection on these lines.
