Southern California Edison says its equipment may have sparked the Hurst Fire .

The fire broke out the same day as two massive blazes in the area killed at least 29 people and destroyed thousands of homes.

The admission came in a required filing with state utility regulators.

The utility says it is looking into whether an idle transmission line became energized and possibly sparked the Eaton Fire .
