When Fires and Explosions Lead to Serious Injury

Fire and explosion accidents can occur in nearly any setting—from private homes and apartment buildings to restaurants, factories, vehicles, and public utility spaces. In recent years, California has seen a tragic rise in wildfire-related injuries, many of which have been linked to negligent maintenance by utility companies. In some cases, burn victims are injured while simply commuting or shopping when a gas leak, electrical spark, or mechanical failure causes a sudden blaze or blast.

One example is the devastating Eaton Fire that swept through Altadena in January 2025. Preliminary investigations suggested that the fire may have been caused by electrical transmission equipment owned by Southern California Edison. Dozens of residents were injured or displaced, and lawsuits have since been filed against the utility. Sadly, cases like this are not isolated. When fire hazards are ignored or poorly managed, the consequences can be deadly—and those responsible must be held accountable.

Where Do Fire and Explosion Accidents Happen?

Burn injuries caused by fire or explosions can happen in many environments, including private homes, parked or moving vehicles, restaurants, construction sites, and commercial buildings. Other common locations include industrial plants, warehouses, and public utility zones—especially in areas affected by outdated electrical infrastructure or gas line failures. Wildfires fueled by dry conditions and high winds often originate from these sources, leading to mass destruction and injury.

No matter where your burn occurred, if negligence played a role, our team will work to uncover the truth and pursue those responsible.
