In response to the fire, tt added that Southern California Edison de-energized power lines west of Eaton Canyon through its Public Safety Power Shutoff program.

The Hurst Fire, which began Tuesday evening, started within the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power's service area, but Southern California Edison has transmission facilities near the reported ignition site and is also reviewing this incident.
