Strong winds are forecast to move into the area beginning early morning Tuesday and a new blaze has begun north in Ventura County.
Firefighters in Los Angeles are preparing for what could be the most dangerous days of the disaster, one week after fires broke out across Southern California . It comes after many residents expressed worries that electrical infrastructure around the town could have sparked some of the fires last week. The outages could last up to 48 hours, the LA Department of Water and Power said.
‘There is clear evidence from video footage, photographs, and witness accounts that the fire was caused by electrical equipment operated by Defendants Edison International and Southern California Edison ,’ states the complaint filed in Los Angeles Superior Court on Monday.‘SCE had a duty to properly maintain and operate its electrical infrastructure, yet it failed to do so.’The allegations include negligence, violations of the public utilities code and premises liability.
