However, the Edison International unit has not identified evidence to confirm this, according to a filing with the California Public Utilities Commission.

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 LAFD has suggested Southern California Edison equipment caused the Hurst Fire, which burned nearly 800 acres before it was fully contained on January 16. In its correspondence with the CPUC, SCE confirms it believes its equipment may be associated with the ignition of the fire, although its cause still remains under investigation.
