An approximately 5-acre fire in heavy brush was contained, but not before it destroyed a home Thursday in Topanga.
Firefighters from the Los Angeles County Fire Department responded to the two-alarm fire around 3:30 a.m. in the 2200 block of Swenson Drive where they learned the flames had spread to a nearby two-story building, said the fire department.
The fire was 50% contained by 4:30 a.m. but fire crews will remain on scene for some time, authorities said. Firefighters used a helicopter to combat the flames.
No injuries were reported.
Malibu city officials tweeted an earlier Public Safety Power Outage implemented by Southern California Edison would continue in Las Flores Canyon and East Malibu.
Fox 11 reported power was restored at many homes around 5:30 a.m.
Residents were advised to remain prepared for possible evacuation.
