Insurance companies are attempting to hold Edison accountable for losses incurred from the 2019 Saddleridge fire, citing similarities to the recent Hurst fire. Both fires are said to have started under Edison’s transmission lines in Sylmar, with claims of defective equipment igniting both incidents. While Edison admits its gear may have caused the Hurst fire, it refutes allegations of involvement in the Saddleridge blaze, describing such claims as sensational and misleading. Legal proceedings have been initiated to explore Edison's equipment's role in both fires.
The lawyers argue that evidence from the Hurst fire directly correlates to the ignition mechanism of the Saddleridge fire, indicating potential equipment failure at Edison.
Edison acknowledges its equipment's connection to the Hurst fire but dismisses claims of its involvement in the Saddleridge fire, labeling them as 'preposterous'.
