Firefighting agencies are investigating whether the ongoing wildfire in a Los Angeles suburb, which is still active, is related to infrastructure issues belonging to SCE, as revealed by the company. However, no definitive conclusions have been reached yet.
The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection reported that the Hearst Fire, which erupted in Sylmar in the San Fernando Valley area northwest of Los Angeles, has burned over 770 acres and is currently 77% contained.
Last Thursday, SCE announced it had received notifications from insurance companies to preserve evidence related to the Eaton Fire, which is still burning in Los Angeles. However, the company noted that no firefighting agencies have linked its transmission facilities to the fire.
Private weather company AccuWeather estimated that damages and economic losses range between $135 billion and $150 billion, signaling difficulties in disaster recovery and increased insurance costs for homeowners.
