 Multiple lawsuits related to the Silverado Fire have been filed by individual and subrogation plaintiffs, CAL FIRE, T-Mobile, County of Orange and Cal OES naming SCE as a defendant. T-Mobile has also been named as a defendant and maintains a cross-complaint against SCE and Edison International. A trial in the Silverado Fire litigation has been set for May 2025. SCE expects to obtain and review additional information and materials in the possession of third parties during the course of its internal reviews and the litigation process. SCE has accrued charges for potential losses relating to the Silverado Fire. 2022 Coastal Fire The "Coastal Fire" originated in Orange County in May 2022 and burned approximately 200 acres. The Orange County Fire Authority ("OCFA") has reported that the Coastal Fire destroyed 20 residential structures and damaged 11 residential structures. Two firefighters also reportedly sustained minor injuries. In addition, fire authorities have estimated suppression costs at approximately $3 million. While SCE's investigation remains ongoing, SCE's information reflects that an SCE circuit in the area experienced an anomaly (a relay) approximately 2 minutes prior to the reported time of the fire. An investigation into the cause of the Coastal Fire was led by the OCFA. The OCFA has retained SCE equipment in connection with its investigation. In September 2024, SCE received a report of investigation from the OCFA, in which the OCFA finds that the Coastal Fire was unintentionally caused by sparks from overhead SCE electrical equipment igniting vegetation under the equipment. The SED is conducting an investigation with respect to the Coastal Fire. SCE has settled subrogation plaintiff claims and claims brought by County of Orange. Individual plaintiffs have also filed complaints against SCE related to the Coastal Fire. One damages only trial for one individual plaintiff household is currently scheduled for September 2025 in the Coastal Fire litigation. SCE expects to obtain and review additional information and materials in the possession of third parties during the course of its internal reviews and the litigation process. SCE has accrued charges for potential losses relating to the Coastal Fire. 2022 Fairview Fire The "Fairview Fire" originated in Riverside County in September 2022 and burned approximately 28,000 acres.
