Xcel Energy failed to maintain and monitor its power lines and did not immediately contact authorities in December after sparks from its downed lines were a “substantial factor” in the ignition of the devastating Marshall fire, a group of Boulder County businesses and homeowners allege in a new lawsuit.
“Defendants’ powerlines and energy utility equipment were a substantial factor in the cause, origin and continuation of the deadly Marshall fire,” according to the lawsuit. The complaint alleges that Xcel “unreasonably failed to maintain, monitor, and/or supervise its property in a manner so as to prevent an arcing event from causing a fire.”
