In a significant legal development, a lawsuit has been filed against Southern California Edison, alleging that its equipment ignited the devastating Eaton Fire, which has wreaked havoc just outside Los Angeles.

As authorities probe the cause of several deadly incidents, some captured images and eyewitness accounts suggest the fire started beneath electrical towers inherited by Edison. Investigations remain underway.
