Edison says current increase "remained within the design limits and operating criteria" for the circuits and "did not trigger system protection on these lines."

The utility company maintained that the current increase remained within the design limits and did not trigger system protection on these lines.

Southern California Edison has reported a Jan. 7 fault on a power line that was connected miles away from the lines located near the origin of the deadly Eaton Fire that sparked that day.

Edison says current increase "remained within the design limits and operating criteria" for the circuits and "did not trigger system protection on these lines."

Multiple lawsuits have been filed against Southern California Edison in response to the Eaton Fire. New video released Monday suggests the fire originated near an SCE power line. An SCE rep said they are committed to the ongoing investigation.
