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.

New surveillance footage and evidence from Southern California Edison confirms that a century-old, idle transmission line that the utility failed to remove ignited last year’s deadly Eaton fire, lawyers said in a court filing.
