(Reuters) -Edison International’s southern California utility was hit with a lawsuit blaming the energy provider’s equipment for igniting one of the wildfires in California, Bloomberg News reported on Monday.
The lawsuit is on behalf of a group of homeowners, renters, business owners and others with properties destroyed by the Eaton Fire in the Pasadena area, according to the report.
Edison International’s shares were down nearly 13%.
