Multiple lawsuits have been filed on behalf of Eaton Fire victims that claim equipment owned by Southern California Edison sparked the deadly blaze.

The lawsuits were filed Monday in Los Angeles County Superior Court.

Looks like they found their boogeyman. Maybe it's time for California to really go Green and SoCal Edison can help them by Abandoning and Disconnecting the Transmission Lines, put them for sale on Ebay for $1

[Seruzawa]

Eh. Of course they are going after the deep pockets. They’ll never recover millions from illegals.

No matter how much you think you hate shyster lawyers, you don’t hate them nearly enough.

[Third Person]

what do you call a thousand lawyers burned to death?

[Joann37]

Right! I thought we weren’t supposed to blame anyone?

[Sarah Barracuda]

SoCal Edition said that their power line sparked the Hurst fire in Sylmar but they had NOTHING to do with the Eaton fire since they had already turned OFF the power in the area in advance

[dragnet2]

Now their electrical rates in S.CA will triple!

[God luvs America]

a blessing?

[RetiredTexasVet]

Guess who is going to pay if they win .... electric company customers. Guess who will be whining when their electric bills go through the roof?

Waiting for lawsuits against LA for the Palisades fire...

Lawsuits allege SoCal Edison equipment sparked Eaton Fire

After a wildfire in south west Oregon was started by the local power
company, lawsuits caused electrical rates to almost double.

[Qwapisking]

I’d buy one for a dollar!

[Reverend Wright]

Exactly ! Sue the Deep Pockets.

Sueing penniless illegal Cambio Climatico doesn’t get you anything.

[ifinnegan]

They should sue the wind.

[Diana in Wisconsin]

Well, that was fast. And not unexpected.

What’s the last half of a project or situation? Oh, I remember!

1. Enthusiasm,
2. Disillusionment
3. Panic
4. Search for the guilty
5. Punishment of the innocent, and
6. Praise and honor for the nonparticipants.

The CA fires will be these steps on steroids! *Rolleyes*

SoCal Edison had turned off the distribution lines that lead to the houses.

But the Eaton fire began at the base of one of their high tension towers. Those lines were still hot. There are no pictures of the lines arcing but it may have happened during one of the stronger gusts.

A good start….

This video has been making the rounds for awhile now- claims it's the start of one of the fires, right at the base of a transmission tower.

Of course, if an arsonist wanted to start a fire in red flag conditions, a great place to do so would be right at the base of a transmission tower. Instant scapegoat / covering of tracks...
