Video from a gas station security camera shows what a new filing in a lawsuit alleges is the start of this month’s deadly Eaton Fire in the Los Angeles area – electrical sparking at a utility transmission tower in the hilly Eaton Canyon area near the Altadena community.

The Eaton fire and other recent Southern California wildfires resulted in the deaths of 29 people and the loss of thousands of structures

A video shows arcing at a Southern California Edison tower, then a fire at the tower's base, suggesting the Eaton fire may have been caused by electrical equipment.

As the combined death toll between the Eaton and Palisades fires climbs to 29, attorneys suing Southern California Edison released new video they claim shows the possible start of a firestorm that devastated Altadena.

As officials search for the origin of various fires that have devastated wide swaths of Southern California, a new lawsuit alleges that the Eaton Fire began from an electrical spark at a utility transmission tower.

While investigators are still working to determine the official cause, several attorneys allege this real-time video is the strongest evidence yet, that suggests the Eaton Fire started at a Southern California Edison transmission tower.
