Eaton Fire News and Updates

The Eaton Fire began on January 7, 2025, near the electrical towers in Eaton Canyon owned and operated by Southern California Edison (“SCE”). The fire burned more than 14,000 acres, causing widespread devastation across the region. Thousands of homes and structures were damaged or destroyed, leaving countless families displaced. The destruction has been catastrophic, with communities facing an uncertain future as they attempt to recover from the damage.

Cotchett, Pitre & McCarthy LLP has filed lawsuits against SCE on behalf of the Eaton Fire victims in Los Angeles Superior Court. The cases are before Judge Laura Siegle.
