Eaton Fire survivors demand housing funds from SoCal Edison
Survivors of the deadly Eaton Fire and local officials on Tuesday called on Southern California Edison to pay for rental housing as many displaced Altadena residents struggle with disaster recovery.
A coalition of fire survivors, activists, elected officials and area residents gathered nearly a year after the January wildfire to warn that recovery has stalled because families are struggling to stay housed. According to the Eaton Fire Survivors Network, Edison bears financial responsibility because the utility’s equipment sparked the blaze.
