The LA Fire Justice Coalition announced that Southern California Edison, Edison International, and Genasys Inc. have been sued for the death of Stacey Darden, who passed away in the town of Altadena in January as a result of a wrongful death lawsuit.

Geraldine" Gerry" Darden, the victim's girl, filed the lawsuit in Douglas Boxer and Watts and LA Fire Justice.

We don't litigate," he said. Our home gave the choice to file a complaint a lot of thought. At a press conference, Gerry Darden claimed that Edison started this hearth and that Genasys always became aware of the danger.

The Eaton Fire's nighttime removal instructions were strictly followed by my sister. The truth is that Stacey would still be alive today if these firms had carried out their duties," she said.

The Eaton Fire, which was started by Southern California Edison and Edison International on January 7, 2025, was caused by LA Fire Justice and lawyers, who claimed it was the cause of Altadena, Pasadena, and elements of the Sierra Madre.

They claimed that the LA Fire Justice legitimate team was the first to pinpoint the fire's origin to an abandoned transfer range.

Stacey Darden resided about five blocks north of Lake Avenue at 2528 Marengo Avenue in Altadena.

Stacey Darden and her girlfriend Gerry carefully followed news reports about departure areas until the first morning of January 8 and into the night of January 7.

Eaton fire to confirm that Stacey and her home were safe and not within any evacuation zone.

People north of Altadena, including Stacey Darden, were told that they were safe where they were and that there was no need to leave while her companions west of Lake Avenue received an evacuation notice and two separate evacuation orders.

On January 8, Stacey Darden's past mobile phone use is thought to have occurred on January 8 at around 3:30 a. m.

A compulsory evacuation order was not sent to her cell phone until 5:43 a. m. on January 8 as the only notification of the departure of her area. West of Lake Avenue, 88 of the 19 Altadena people who perished in the Eaton Fire resided. Attorney Mikal Watts praised Stacey for doing all our society expects of a dependable cousin during a wildfire: she kept informed, followed the law, and knew that if she was in risk, she may be told to leave.

" Southern California Edison, who was responsible for this fire, and Genasys, who were east of Lake Avenue, were not included in the sensitive area. It was too late by the time she ultimately received the telephone removal purchase.

According to Watts," This is not a horror of bad luck, but rather a horror of corporate failing," and that is why we brought this lawsuit.

Stacey E. Darden's home moved to Southern California in 1978 after moving to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on May 19, 1970. She participated in Pomelo Elementary School's brilliant plan from a young age and was immediately aware of her intellectual prowess.

She then attended Pasadena High School and Elliott Middle School in Altadena.

Her lifelong love of libraries stemmed, in part, from spending almost all of her free time at the Altadena library, where she and her sister would study and read. She graduated from Bryn Mawr College with a degree in Political Science and pursued a career in library and information science, including work experience at the Caltech library. Stacey was an avid consumer of political and current affairs news. She read the LA Times daily and was a regular listener of local radio stations such as KPCC/LAist 98.3, KCRW, KJLH 102.3, and NPR. She was only 54 years old at the time of her death. “When I joined LA Fire Justice, I promised this community that we would hold those responsible for the devastation caused by the Eaton Fire accountable,” said Chris Holden, executive director of LA Fire Justice.

We may struggle to confirm this never happens once, but we cannot bring back the lives lost. She continued," Filing this lawsuit is a crucial step toward justice, change, and accountability. "

Southern California Edison's director, Gabriela G. Ornelas, stated in response to the complaint," We understand the enormous impact on the community and send our deepest condolences to all those affected by the Southern California fire. "

She continued," We are reviewing the complaint and will respond via legal programs. "
