Credited from: LATIMES

  • Significant increase in electrical faults recorded on the power grid near the Eaton, Palisades, and Hurst fires shortly before they ignited.
  • Bob Marshall, CEO of Whisker Labs, highlighted that these faults could potentially spark fires, though causation has not been confirmed.
  • The Palisades fire saw 25 faults in the hour preceding the fire, while the Eaton and Hurst fires reported 50 and 51 faults respectively during similar timeframes.
  • Data indicates that, despite the high number of faults, energy was still active on the lines prior to the fires, indicating a lack of monitoring sensors from utilities.
  • Investigations into the exact causes of the fires are ongoing as officials analyze various contributing factors.
