On February 7th, Southern California Edison Electric Company, which operates power supply business in the southern region of California, announced on February 6th local time that its equipment is likely to have caused one of the wildfires that occurred in the Los Angeles area in January. The company acknowledged in a document that its equipment may have contributed to the outbreak of the Hirst fire, but the fire did not destroy any buildings or cause any fatalities. The company stated in another document that it is investigating the possibility of an idle power transmission line being electrified and causing the Eaton fire, but the company insists that there is no evidence to suggest that its equipment was the cause of the Eaton fire.
