Was Southern California Edison grossly negligent, and what about the legislation meant to prevent the fire? 

Was Southern California Edison grossly negligent, and what about the legislation meant to prevent the fire? 

On this week’s episode of "Conversation Live: Altadena Rising," host James Farr digs into the aftermath of the devastating Eaton Canyon fire that ravaged Altadena. With 18 lives lost and thousands displaced, the question remains: Did the utility company fail to take necessary precautions? Farr speaks with Chris Holden, former California Assembly member, and CEO of LA Fire Justice, to explore how Edison's alleged negligence might have played a role in the fire's outbreak. They’ll also discuss the legislative efforts, like AB 238, designed to hold utility companies accountable and provide financial relief to families impacted by this disaster.

But that’s not all. Farr also invites Catherine Peoples, founder of HOUZD General Engineering, to answer the burning question: Are soil remediation and debris cleanup appropriately done to ensure safe rebuilding in fire-ravaged areas? As residents fight to rebuild their homes and lives, the real question is—are they getting the support they need?

Tune in for a robust conversation on the intersection of disaster response, accountability, and rebuilding efforts.
