💨 Abstract

Residents of Los Angeles affected by the deadly Palisades wildfire have filed a lawsuit against city authorities, alleging that municipal utility power lines ignited the fire. The lawsuit claims that the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) misled the public, stating that power lines near the fire origin were disconnected for five years, when they were actually energized at the time of the fire.
