The Palisades and Eaton fires, two of the deadliest and most destructive wildfires in California history, reached 100 percent containment more than three weeks after they began.

NBC News reports that the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection declared the Palisades and Eaton Fires as 100% contained on Friday. Both fires broke out on Jan. 7 and combined burned more than 37,000 acres across Los Angeles County.

"The LAFD has not had the funding mechanism to supply enough mechanics and enough money for the parts to repair these engines, the trucks, the ambulances," said IAFF Local

California utility company Southern California Edison on Thursday said its equipment “may be associated with” the ignition of the Hurst Fire, which burned alongside the Eaton and Palisades fires during January’s Los Angeles firestorms.

Southern California Edison (SCE), a subsidiary of Edison International, said on Thursday that it was probing whether its equipment was associated with the ignition of two Los Angeles-area wildfires this year.

The utility company said its equipment may have caused the fire but that an investigation is continuing and that they are cooperating with authorities.

Fire agencies however did not find evidence connecting SCE to the larger Eaton Fire The post SoCal Edison Says Hurst Wildfire Was Likely Caused by Its Own Equipment appeared first on TheWrap.
