Allstate Corp. said it expects about $1.1 billion in losses from the wildfires that destroyed Los Angeles County communities in January.

Southern California Edison (SCE), a subsidiary of Edison International , said on Thursday that it was probing whether its equipment was associated with the ignition of two Los Angeles-area wildfires this year.

In the fourth quarter, catastrophe losses took $315 million out of Allstate’s homeowners insurance business, up from $21 million the year before.
