Just days before the federal statute of limitations would have run out, the government has filed a lawsuit against Southern California Edison in connection to a 2009 fire that primarily burned the San Bernardino National Forest east of Hemet. The Riverside Press-Enterprise reports that according to the lawsuit filed Wednesday, an equipment malfunction sparked the fire that burned almost 4 square miles, about 3 of which were national forest land.
