A new lawsuit filed by a Southern California resident is claiming that a surveillance video shows what potentially started the deadly Eaton Fire.

A video released as part of an ongoing lawsuit against Southern California Edison, the electrical utility for Los Angeles, appears to show what a law firm says is the start of the deadly Eaton Fire.

As officials search for the origin of various fires that have devastated wide swaths of Southern California, a new lawsuit alleges that the Eaton Fire began from an electrical spark at a utility transmission tower.

The three-time Oscar winner was trapped on her property but managed to get to safety after creating an escape route with wire cutters, her nephew said.

Meryl Streep had to take matters into her own hands when evacuating from the Los Angeles wildfires earlier this month, according to her nephew.

Journalist Abe Streep also spoke to Martin Short and Haley Joel Osment about they were affected by the blazes.
