The Eaton Fire of 2025 was sparked by electrical arcing from an out-of-service Southern California Edison tower, igniting dry brush under extreme weather conditions. The blaze burned over 20 square miles, destroyed or damaged more than 9,000 structures, and claimed 19 lives—18 of them in west Altadena. While Edison admits responsibility for equipment maintenance, it also blames LA County agencies for delayed evacuations. Joint investigators confirmed the utility’s role and highlighted how rapid fire spread was fueled by high heat, low humidity, and strong winds.
