"Absent additional evidence, SCE believes it is likely that its equipment was associated with the ignition of the Woolsey Fire," the statement said. Los Angeles County firefighters look on as the out of control Woolsey Fire explodes behind a house in the West Hills neighborhood.The Woolsey Fire, which started nearly a year ago on November 8, destroyed more than 1,600 structures, injured three firefighters and killed three people as it raged near Malibu.
The company said it did not find evidence of downed electrical wires at the suspected origin point of the fire, but it did report an outage on its electrical system near that point and found a pole support wire close to an electrical wire that was energized before that reported outage.Read MoreA witness reported seeing fire near the equipment around that time, the company said.
There goes that climate change thing again. It's the climate that made them derelict in their duties to maintain their equipment.
Why don’t they just pour water on the fire to put it out? marykateburner
You mean it WASN'T Trump that caused the Ca fires Pelosi and Schiff were gonna use this as a reason to impeach him next week. Shucks! 🤦♂️
I hope they have to pay to build new houses for everyone that lost one.
Thank you for finally taking some responsibility and stop blaming climate change.
Woow! How is that possible Maybe it is wiser to spend more $$$%% on updating all the w it's for safety of all people and there property's and lives
This is weird information to expose NOW of all times. Essential information, but odd timing with the Getty fire currently at a critical juncture.
Positive vibes that this doesn't harm anyone else and it gets put out soon. Thanks to the brave people doing their best to put it out! All the way from GA, thinking about you all! 💛💛
Ca needs to move to a 12 volt system.
How is it remotely ok to have power companies being the source of these fires?
And they say it is caused by climate change, so that they can tie climate change to DJTrump, & find another reason for impeachment when the current impeachment try fails as did the previous one.
How much money have they spent on maintaining current power infrastructure vs how much on mandated green technology r&d?
This is terrible
SCE, Please abandon California and join us in the mid west. We love infrastructure.
Another question you should be asking Nancy pelosi spending millions on 3 years of impeachment hopes instead that money could be helping people
🙏🏾
😢😢😢
Gov. Newsom might apologize for not getting rid of regulations before this tragedy.
