The investigation into the Eaton fire, which destroyed over 7,000 homes and caused 17 fatalities, is largely centered around a transmission tower in Eaton Canyon. Southern California Edison reported discovering a campsite near the tower that may have been occupied prior to the fire starting. While Edison denies its equipment caused the blaze, the presence of a camp with fire rings raises questions. Both Edison and plaintiffs pursuing lawsuits are examining possible sources for the fire, and the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection is actively involved in the investigation, which remains ongoing.
Edison indicated an encampment was found near the tower, but did not directly link it to the fire, raising skepticism among plaintiff attorneys.
Fire officials are investigating a transmission tower in Eaton Canyon as a potential cause of the deadly fire that destroyed thousands of homes.
Edison maintains that its equipment did not cause the fire, but acknowledged a nearby campsite was active before the blaze ignited.
The exact cause of the Eaton fire is still under investigation, with Cal Fire exploring various potential sources while evidence points to the tower.
