2 fires started and kept going in California today: many small ones they were able to put out

The sandalwood and the Sylmar Fires started Thursday. Likely, Pacific Gas and Electric won't be blamed for these fires like they were the Paradise Fire. However, I watched on the news of one small Deli business saying they lost $25,000 in merchandise from the unexpected power outage and the owners were freaked out because they have no way to recover these damages presently. They said they couldn't arrange for a big enough generator to keep their food from spoiling at the Deli on such short notice.

Also, the Sandalwood fire is in Riverside County which is south of Yucaipa on Interstate 10 and has burned down at least 74 structures so far today. I'm not sure if Interstate 10 is still open but 210 is closed in Sylmar where Interstate 5 meets 210 in Sylmar which is in the San Fernando Valley in the Los Angeles Area whereas Yucaipa on Interstate 10 is to the south and east of Redlands in Riverside County. The fire is in between Redlands and Beaumont, California. However, they have closed Highway 60 too so the fire might be on both sides of 60 West of Beaumont, California and possibly heading towards Beaumont the way it looks on my Iphone GPS on Google maps.

It's probably true because though I have a 500 dollar Generac generator that I can wheel around by hand that can provide enough electricity for my whole house, they would probably need one that would be towed behind a truck in order to work for them and they are fewer and far between in trying to arrange for that large of a generator. Unless you can anticipate something like this a month in advance like building contractors or others might, there likely would be no way to arrange for something this size to save all the refrigerating units in a supermarket or other perishable food store anywhere. So, this one small business lost at least $25,000 in spoiled food in two days time. A home owner or renter likely would lose about $100 to $1000 during the same time. So, a realistic assessment for home owners or renters might be to multiply an average of $500 loss per family by about 800,000 to 2,000,000 people to see how much loss just non-business owners might have lost.

If I do the math it is a $400,000,000 loss for home owners and renters approximately at 800,000 people and then:

at 2,000,000 people today it would be $500.00 times 2,000,000 households that they said were without power today equals:

1.9 billion dollars in lost food just for owners and renters throughout California who lost power. It's possible there might be Class action lawsuits against P, G&E but I'm not sure what grounds these suits would be based upon since P,G,&E was trying to protect areas from fires. So, this is a new problem for the lawyers and Supreme Court of California to deal with with losses this high.

I think we are in a new legal Territory here entirely. But, there are plenty of Damage specializing Lawyers in California to try to find a way to help their clients too.
