Attorneys filing the lawsuits on behalf of the plaintiffs alleged that the fire was started by SCE’s overhead electrical equipment at the Rocketdyne facility in Simi Valley. They say that an hour before the fire, SCE’s power lines arced, sending sparks and starting a fire behind several homes along Roadrunner Avenue in Thousand Oaks, the same location where other fires have broken out in the past three years.
