Edison CEO Says Lines Were De-Energized Near Eaton Fire

The video discusses the status of electrical lines during a fire, highlighting the de-energization of distribution lines and the operational status of transmission lines. It covers the analysis of telemetry data, noting the absence of electrical anomalies typically associated with fires caused by infrastructure. The video also details efforts to preserve evidence and file incident reports with regulators, emphasizing transparency and the potential for litigation.

What evidence is typically seen in telemetry when a fire is caused by electrical infrastructure?

• Voltage drop and current increase

• No change in telemetry

• Decrease in current

• Increase in voltage

What type of lines were de-energized two hours before the fire started?

• Transmission lines

• None of the above

• Distribution lines

• High-voltage lines

Why were the transmission lines not de-energized?

• They were not in the fire zone

• They met the criteria for safe operation

• They are larger and stronger

• They were already de-energized

What is the main reason for preserving evidence according to the transcript?

• To ensure a robust investigation

• To avoid media scrutiny

• To satisfy regulatory requirements

• To prevent future fires

What is the expectation regarding the Eaton fire mentioned in the transcript?

• No evidence was preserved

• It has been fully investigated

• There may be litigation

• It will be resolved without litigation
