Power line may have sparked LA wildfire, lawsuit alleges
Briefly

"We have video, we have photographs, we have eyewitness accounts, not just from our clients but other residents that were there and alleged to have seen sparking, to have seen arcing occurring on those lines that subsequently triggered a fire," Ali Moghaddas, an attorney, stated, emphasizing their evidence against Southern California Edison.
"Our hearts remain with our communities during the devastating fires in Southern California and we remain committed to supporting them through this difficult time," SCE spokesperson Jeff Monford emphasized, while the company investigates the claims.
A legal action cites data from Whisker Labs indicating a "significant spike" in faults in the area prior to the fire, raising concerns about the utility's negligence.
Southern California Edison has faced numerous lawsuits in recent years related to wildfires, having paid hundreds of millions of dollars due to prior incidents linked to their power lines sparking fires.
