On January 14th, Southern California Edison Electric Company was sued for its equipment causing the still raging Eaton fire. It is reported that the fire occurred in the area of Los Angeles, the second largest city in the United States, near Pasadena. This lawsuit is filed by homeowners, tenants, merchants, and other residents who have lost property due to the fire, accusing the power company of failing to properly maintain its equipment, resulting in catastrophic consequences. The lawsuit claims that a utility pole of Southern California Power Company was the root cause of the fire, which ultimately destroyed a large area of the Altadina community. The wildfires in southern California have been raging for nearly a week, and progress in extinguishing them is still limited. The wildfire has caused 24 deaths.
