After the Eaton fire near Altadena, CA, Southern California Edison began testing its equipment and observed abnormal white flashes on transmission lines during power restoration. While this incident may suggest a connection to the fire, which resulted in 17 fatalities and extensive destruction, company CEO Pedro J. Pizarro stated no conclusive evidence has been found linking their equipment to the ignition. The investigation is ongoing, and the determination of responsibility could significantly affect both compensation for victims and the utility's operations.
Southern California Edison is investigating abnormal electrical activity near the Eaton fire's origin, which could imply a link between the fire and its equipment, but no conclusions have been reached yet.
Pedro J. Pizarro emphasized that while initial findings show irregularities, they are part of an ongoing investigation and do not yet confirm Edison's responsibility for the deadly blaze.
