摘要

Southern California Edison on Friday filed a confidential report with the California Public Utilities Commission, notifying regulators of an electric incident that occurred the previous day around the reported time of the Saddle Ridge brush fire in northwest Los Angeles. “Out of abundance of caution we notified the CPUC on Friday, October 11, that our system was impacted near the reported time of fire,” SCE spokeswoman Susan Cox said. The fire started on October 10 about 9 p.m. at Saddle Ridge Road and Yarnell Street in the Sylmar area of Los Angeles and spread westward during a period of high winds and low humidity, according to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Prevention.
