LA Times: New evidence confirms Edison’s idle line ignited Eaton fire, lawyers say

"... New surveillance video and utility data bolster claims that a century-old, idle Edison transmission line ignited last year’s Eaton fire, which killed 19 people and displaced thousands in Altadena, lawyers say.
Lawyers for insurers are seeking a ruling holding Edison financially liable for the fire. They point to how two flashes on a video from a Pasadena swim club correspond to the timing of two faults, three seconds apart, that Edison recorded on its transmission lines just before the fire ignited.
Edison has not accepted responsibility for igniting the fire, saying its own investigation and a separate inquiry by state and county officials is continuing.

Business | Angry Altadena residents ask officials to halt Edison's undergrounding work by Melody Petersen

AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

Altadena residents, many still rebuilding after the deadly Eaton wildfire, have demanded that Southern California Edison halt its plan to bury electric distribution lines because the work is imposing unexpected costs of tens of thousands of dollars on homeowners, threatening the town’s remaining oak and pine trees, and leaving telecom wires on poles above ground; in a jointly‑signed letter to the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors, more than 120 residents and the town council cited “manifest failures” in coordination, financial burden, and environmental damage, and the council voted unanimously to press the request, while Edison’s spokesperson said the utility is looking for funding assistance, will allow homes to keep existing overhead lines if needed, and is training crews to avoid tree roots, even as the company faces separate investigations into its role in the fire and accusations of neglecting maintenance on aging transmission lines.
