You're listening to KFI, AM 640, the Bill Handel show On Demand, on the IHeart Radio app.

This is Handel on the law, marginal legal advice where I tell you, you have absolutely no case.

We have had some serious fires here in Southern California.

Of course, you've heard about the Pacific Palisades fire.

You've heard about the Hearst Fire, 6,000, well, excuse me, the Pacific Palisades and the Eaton fire, 6,000 homes have gone up.

And it is, well, it's going to be billions and billions of dollars

in the story about people who have lost their homes and what's happened to southern

California and rebuilding that is in and of itself but moving to the Hearst fire

which happened last... last january seventh

the authorities

uh... have figured out that it was the utility company

uh... that was responsible for another fire in the same area

nearly six years ago they've gone back and figured out, okay, it was the utility company.

Now, this was the Saddle Ridge Fire 2019.

The Hearst Fire this year, both of them, started underneath an Edison high-voltage transmission line in Silmar.

Now, if you don't know the San Fernando Valley, and most people don't,

the San Fernando Valley, at its northernmost point, there's a huge transmission line center.

And it is one of those massive electrical centers with the poles that are made out of steel going up.

They go hundreds of feet.

And they can be dangerous.

We never thought that those were started fire.

And it turns out they did.
