Hurst fire, Southern California Edison and Sylmar

Xiaoyong "Shaw" Zhao filed a lawsuit against Southern California Edison over the death of his father in Altadena.
Southern California Edison says it's possible a dead power circuit could have played a role in igniting the fire in Altadena.
SCE concedes in the filing that a conductor failure occurred near the origin of the fire, causing damaged equipment to fall to the ground at the base of a tower.
