A new lawsuit filed by a Southern California resident is claiming that a surveillance video shows what potentially started the deadly Eaton Fire.

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

A law firm representing victims of the Eaton Fire in Los Angeles has submitted photos with a legal filing on Wednesday that appear to show exposed wire at the base of a Southern California Edison tower that the firm alleges may have contributed to the deadly blaze.

Extreme conditions helped drive the fast-moving fires that destroyed thousands of homes in the Pacific Palisades and Altadena.

As Los Angeles reels from the loss of lives and homes to the Easton and Palisades fires, scientists are asking why the events of this January have been so catastrophic.

Scientists say the fires that engulfed Los Angeles were made 35% more likely due to climate warming.
