Report Identifies Cause of 2025 Altadena Wildfire

A report released on Tuesday has revealed the cause of the 2025 wildfire that devastated much of Altadena, California. The fire originated from a spark on an idle transmission tower owned by Southern California Edison.

Investigations had long suspected these transmission towers in Eaton Canyon as the source of the fire. The confirmation from the report sheds light on the previous year’s catastrophic event that significantly impacted the community.
