In a Jan. 27 letter to the regulators, Southern California Edison revealed new details regarding its electrical equipment before the Eaton Fire.

The video shows arcing and electrical sparking on a transmission tower in Eaton Canyon just before winds quickly began spreading the fire.

Attorneys who claim malfunctioning Southern California Edison equipment caused the deadly, destructive Eaton Fire on Monday released video they believe shows sparks from Edison power lines igniting the blaze.
