Los Angeles County lifted all evacuation orders and warnings for the Bryson Fire on Saturday, Oct. 17, clearing Malibu residents to return home.

The 146-acre brush fire near Encinal Canyon Road had burned since Thursday, Oct. 15. Two zones closest to the fire, KAN-U017 and SYC-U016-A, were downgraded to advisories, meaning residents there should stay alert, according to LA County. No structures were lost or damaged. The only injuries were minor ones among firefighting personnel.

The fire was 61% contained as of 7:13 p.m. Saturday, according to Yo Venice. The Westside Current reported 68% containment that same day.

The Los Angeles County Fire Department said crews were mopping up hot spots identified by an earlier infrared flight and building secondary containment lines.

"The continued work today increased containment to 61%," the department said in a statement. "Crews are scouting for secondary containment line construction, and mop-up will continue with a full suppression strategy."

The Red Flag Warning that had been in effect across LA County expired Saturday evening, according to the county. Weather conditions had improved, reducing the immediate fire risk.

The fire ignited at about 4:41 p.m. on Oct. 15 near Encinal Canyon Road. It grew from roughly 20 acres within 30 minutes to nearly 200 acres by that evening, according to the Westside Current. Aerial mapping later reduced the estimate to about 147 acres.

More than 414 emergency personnel were assigned at the peak of the response, according to LA County. Cal Fire reported 721 personnel, 65 engines and two helicopters assigned on the night of Oct. 16.

LA County Fire Chief Anthony C. Marrone said at an Oct. 16 news conference that Santa Ana winds, low humidity and dry vegetation were keeping fire weather threats high. Third District Supervisor Lindsey P. Horvath praised firefighters at the same briefing for holding the line overnight so that no lives or structures were put in harm's way.

The county said all roads closed during the fire had been reopened, including Topanga Canyon Boulevard. Yo Venice reported that as of Saturday evening, closures remained on Encinal Canyon Road and Lechusa Road, with Old Topanga Canyon Road limited to residents only. Accounts differed on which closures were still active.

All evacuation centers, including the shelter at Agoura High School, have closed. The large animal shelter at Pierce College also closed. The 38 youth who had been relocated from Campus Vernon Kilpatrick, a juvenile detention facility near the fire's origin, were cleared to return from Barry J. Nidorf Juvenile Hall in Sylmar, according to the LA County Probation Department.

Southern California Edison canceled planned power shutoffs and was working to restore service to Malibu customers. As of Saturday morning, more than 48,000 Edison customers across five counties had lost power due to the shutoffs, including 14,768 in LA County, the Westside Current reported.

Firefighters planned to continue mop-up operations and containment-line construction through at least Sunday, Oct. 18.
