Multiple lawsuits were filed Jan. 13 in Los Angeles Superior Court against electric utility company Southern California Edison (SCE), accusing the company of causing one of the two major fires burning in Southern California.
The lawsuits alleged the company failed to de-energize its power lines, sparking the Eaton fire, which has burned more than 14,000 acres in the neighborhood of Altadena, northeast of Los Angeles, and caused at least 16 deaths since it erupted a week ago.
