Southern California Edison, an electric utility company in the United States, has been sued over allegations that one of the fires was started due to the company's electrical equipment.

CLAIM OF "MANY WITNESSES"

The lawsuit was filed in the California Supreme Court on behalf of homeowners, tenants, and business owners whose properties were damaged due to the Eaton fire in the Pasadena area. The complaint submitted to the court stated that many witnesses saw the fire start under a transmission tower owned by Southern California Edison, and videos of this were shared on social media.

FIRST LAWSUIT RELATED TO FIRES

Reports in the U.S. media indicated that the lawsuit against the company could be the first of several related to the fires affecting Los Angeles.

STATEMENT FROM THE COMPANY

Meanwhile, Pedro Pizarro, the CEO of the company's parent organization Edison International, emphasized in an interview with CNBC that no abnormalities were detected in their equipment in the hours leading up to the start of the Eaton fire in the Los Angeles area.

24 PEOPLE LOST THEIR LIVES

In the fires that started on the evening of January 7 in various parts of Los Angeles and spread rapidly due to strong winds, over 37,000 acres have been burned so far. A total of 24 people lost their lives, and evacuation orders were issued for approximately 150,000 people. More than 12,000 structures were damaged or rendered unusable in the disaster.
