Flaw in Edison’s equipment in Sylmar sparked two major wildfires in last six years, lawyers say

Southern California Edison’s admission that its equipment may have ignited the Hurst fire in the San Fernando Valley on Jan. 7
is being seized on by lawyers suing the utility company for another fire in the same area nearly six years earlier.

💥Both the #Saddleridge Fire in 2019 and the #Hurst Fire this year started beneath an Edison high-voltage transmission line in Sylmar.

💥The lawyers say faulty equipment on the line ignited both blazes in the same way.

“The evidence will show that five separate fires ignited at five separate SCE transmission tower bases in the same exact manner as the fire that started the Saddleridge fire,”
the lawyers wrote of the Hurst fire in a June 9 filing in Los Angeles Superior Court.

The lawyers said the January wildfire is “further evidence” that a transmission pylon known as
🔥 "Tower 2-5 “ is improperly grounded.”

"The wildfires present a critical moment for the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors to demonstrate their commitment to protecting youth, particularly those involved in the justice system," says Emilio Zapién, Director of Media & Communications at Youth Justice Coalition LA.

Endangerment of youth during a natural disaster is morally despicable.
