Entertainer Ana Victoria crafts song to help school humbled by Eaton fire

Southern California Edison proposes compensation including up to $900,000 for destroyed homes and $1.5 million per death to resolve claims from the January Eaton fire.

  • Southern California Edison unveiled a proposed pay schedule this week for its Eaton Fire compensation program covering victims who agree not to sue.
  • The program addresses the aftermath of the Eaton Fire in January, which consumed over 14,000 acres, leveled more than 9,400 buildings, resulted in 17 fatalities, and led to upwards of 100 legal claims attributing the cause to Edison’s equipment.
  • Edison hired Kenneth Feinberg and Camille Biros, experienced in victim compensation, to administer the program designed for faster financial resolution than litigation.
  • The draft pay schedule offers $1.5 million per death for pain and suffering, $500,000 for surviving spouses and dependents, and up to $750 per square foot for destroyed homes.
  • Public workshops are scheduled virtually and in person starting September 25 to gather input before finalizing eligibility, while state officials consider replenishing the fund due to potential depletion.
