Feds open three suits against SoCal Edison, seeking money back for Fairview, Eaton, Nutmeg fires

Federal attorneys filed three cases against Southern California Edison last week, seeking payment for damages and the cost of fighting the 14,000-acre 2025 Eaton Fire in Altadena, the 28,300-acre 2022 Fairview Fire in Hemet, and a small fire in Fresno.

Although the Eaton complaint said that Southern California Edison (SCE) caused the fire, it said the investigation into the cause is ongoing, and did not provide any new facts.
