What Caused the Eaton Canyon Fire?
The official cause of the Eaton Fire is not yet known and is still under investigation.
However, residents reported to 911 that an electrical tower caught fire in the area of the fire. In addition, Southern California Edison has filed an incident report relating to the fire.
A strong Santa Ana winds event contributed to the size and rapid spread of the fire.
Possible causes of the Eaton Fire include:
Downed Power Lines
One common cause of California wildfires is poorly maintained power lines being downed by high winds. Our legal teams have recovered compensation for victims of countless fires started by downed power lines, including the Dixie Fire and Camp Fire. Inverse condemnation laws allow us to recover compensation for victims of wildfires started by utility companies’ equipment.
Arson
It is unfortunate that some people start wildfires intentionally. Our legal teams represent those who have suffered losses due to fires started intentionally, helping them recover compensation and advocating for their rights.
Negligence
Human negligence can cause wildfires to start and can aid in their spread. Our legal teams have assisted thousands of people who have suffered losses due to fires started by human negligence. Many wildfires would not occur if not for a lack of adequate precautions or safety measures.
