In areas near the Eaton, Palisades, and Hurst fires, there were massive increases in faults in the hours leading to the fires, suggesting a possible link to electrical issues.
Bob Marshall stated, 'What I cannot say is one of these faults sparked the fire. I don't know that. But it just takes one to start the fire.'
The data shows significant fault activity prior to the fires, including 50 faults for the Eaton fire and 51 at the Hurst fire, indicating a possible electrical hazard.
Marshall emphasized, 'What we know is the lines were not de-energized prior to the ignition of fire,' raising concerns about inadequate monitoring by utilities.
