LA Fire Justice held a press conference on Monday concerning Eaton Fire victim Stacey Elizabeth Darden, who died Jan. 8 in her Altadena home. Attorneys for Darden’s family filed a wrongful death lawsuit Monday against Southern California Edison.

The suit filed in Los Angeles Superior Court alleges the utility’s transmission lines ignited the devastating wildfire in January that caused the deaths of 19 people, scorched over 14,000 acres and impacted over 10,000 structures. The lawsuit names Genasys Inc., Southern California Edison Co. and Edison International as defendants.
