(CNS) – Another group of families is suing Southern California Edison
Co., alleging the utility’s negligence is linked to the outbreak of
the destructive Fairview Fire last month in Riverside County.
The blaze broke out on Sept. 5, killing two and forcing the
evacuations of thousands in Hemet.
“Edison negligently, recklessly and willfully failed to maintain an appropriate clearance area between the electrical equipment in its
utility infrastructure and surrounding vegetation,” according to the
Los Angeles Superior Court lawsuit brought Friday, alleging
negligence, nuisance and trespass, and seeking unspecified
compensatory and punitive damages.
