Faults along the Los Angeles power grid alarmingly soared in the same areas where major wildfires raged this week, sparking a new theory that they may have caused the devastating crisis.
Bob Marshall, the chief executive of Whisker Labs, a company that monitors electrical activity, told Fox News that the firm saw spikes in faults in the hours before the Eaton, Palisades and Hurst Fires.
He said a network of around 14,000 ‘ting’ sensors recorded faults across the power grid in those areas, which he said can offer ‘extraordinary precision and accuracy.’ Marshall said data shows the power was not immediately shut off after the faults surged.
