Officials said it was a Southern California Edison Transmission Tower that was demolished as part of an investigation into the Eaton fire and was lifted by a helicopter on Thursday.

David Eisenhauer, spokesman for Edison in Southern California, said damage occurred when the top of the tower contacted the power cord.

The tower is part of an investigation into the devastating Eaton fire on January 7, one of two structures that were demolished. Another idle tower, called the M16T1 or 208 tower, is located at a suspected ignition point, was deleted Wednesday. It was divided into two pieces and flew to the landing pad and transported to the warehouse.

The tower was demolished without happening.

However, this is not the case with the second tower, near the Gould substation in Lacana Flintridge.

"We acknowledge that there are some potential losses when the SCE tower is transported by helicopters," Eisenhow said.

Due to this incident, no harm was reported.

It is unclear how much damage the tower has suffered or whether it will have any impact on the ongoing investigation.

Eisenhauer said the company is still evaluating damage to the tower, which was transferred to the landing pad.

The tower will be divided into three parts and will be tested on Wednesday, but when the top comes in contact with the power cord, work paused.

Eisenhauer said the power lines that were in contact with the tower were not fully charged at the time.

Although the Los Angeles County fire is still investigating the official cause of the fire, Edison International CEO Pedro Pizarro told Times that the trigger (which rarely occurs when idle towers and power lines are reactivated) is a leading theory for deadly fires.

As part of an agreement between SCE, county investigators and law firms that have filed lawsuits, the two towers are planned to be demolished and taken to Irwindale’s warehouse, where they are tested and inspected for clues.

The SCE told state regulators that four lines, including the dormant Mesa-Simal line, saw a surge in current around the same time as the fire broke out.

The company also detected a failure on the Eagle Rock-Gould line, which is also connected to the Gould substation.
