The utility has noted multiple irregularities, but maintains there is no evidence its equipment sparked the destructive Eaton fire.

Southern California Edison said video evidence had led it to look more broadly at whether its equipment might have been the cause of the deadly blaze.

The LAFD has suggested Southern California Edison equipment caused the Hurst Fire, which burned nearly 800 acres before it was fully contained on January 16. In its correspondence with the CPUC, SCE confirms it believes its equipment may be associated with the ignition of the fire, although its cause still remains under investigation.

California utility company Southern California Edison on Thursday said its equipment “may be associated with” the ignition of the Hurst Fire, which burned alongside the Eaton and Palisades fires during January’s Los Angeles firestorms.
