    About the Eaton Fire

    The Eaton Fire started on Tuesday, January 7, 2025, between Altadena Drive and Midwick Drive in the Altadena/Pasadena area. Arid conditions and high winds caused the rapid spread of the fire, destroying homes and businesses while prompting mass evacuations.

    As of Wednesday, March 5, 2025, the fire is 100% contained. The fire scorched 14,021 acres, destroyed over 9,400 structures, and damaged an additional 1074 buildings.

    Additionally, seventeen civilian deaths have been reported, and 9 firefighters have sustained injuries as a result of the fire. Firefighters continue to battle the blaze in challenging conditions, achieving 100% containment.

    Eaton Fire May Have Been Caused by Faulty Power Lines

    The Eaton Fire has devastated our Los Angeles community, leaving behind a trail of destruction and heartbreak. At CaseyGerry, we understand the profound challenges you may be facing as you recover from this disaster. Whether you’ve lost a home, a business, or a loved one, our firm is here to stand by your side and advocate for justice.

    Holding Those Responsible Accountable

    CaseyGerry is representing those impacted by the Eaton Fire. Our firm works tirelessly to investigate wildfire incidents, pinpoint the cause, and hold responsible parties accountable for the devastation and lifelong effects of such disasters.

    The Eaton Fire is still under investigation; however, there is reason to believe that a high-voltage power line may have ignited the fire.
    According to ABC Los Angeles, witness accounts and surveillance video suggest that a downed power line owned by Southern California Edison (SCE) may have sparked the fire. Read more on why we recommend filing a legal claim against the SCE.

    Some of California’s most devastating wildfires have been caused by faulty equipment or negligence by utility companies.
