Edison Fire Compensation Plan Draws Pushback

Season 2025 Episode 482

Weeks after Southern California Edison outlined a compensation program for the Eaton Fire, residents say eligibility maps omit impacted blocks and payouts subtract full insurance even when claims fall short. They also object to lower compensation for children and want school testing for toxins. Edison says the draft plan aims to pay quickly and could change with feedback.
