Eaton Fire Caused by Edison Tower | Sacramento News
Description
The 2025 Eaton Fire in Los Angeles was sparked by an out-of-service Southern California Edison tower, according to a 18-month investigation that found electrical arcing ignited the blaze—devastating 9,000 homes and claiming 19 lives. Though firefighters battled it for nearly a month over 22 square miles, Edison now faces blame while also suing county agencies for delayed evacuations, especially since 18 of the victims were in west Altadena. This tragedy underscores how fragile infrastructure can be—and the deadly consequences when it fails.
