We believe that the Eaton fire was ignited because of SCE's failure to de-energize its overhead wires, which traverse Eaton Canyon, said attorney Richard Bridgford, who is representing a local homeowner.
SCE will review the complaint when it's received. The cause of the fire continues to be under investigation. Our hearts remain with our communities during the devastating fires in Southern California and we remain committed to supporting them through this difficult time, said spokesman Jeff Monford.
A report by The Times found that Cal Fire has cordoned off the transmission tower where the fire appears to have begun.
Experts have said it is too soon to determine the cause of the fire, and the lawsuits point to Southern California Edison's responsibility in other wildfires as evidence.
