About 300 firefighters will continue their efforts Monday to bring the Hurst Fire in the Sylmar area to full containment and protect structures amid the forecasted high winds.
As of Sunday afternoon, the fire had burned 799 acres and was 89% contained, according to Cal Fire.
The Hurst Fire was reported around 10:30 p.m. Tuesday in the 5900 block of Yarnell Street, near Foothill Boulevard, and within a half-hour had burned more than 100 acres, Los Angeles Fire Department spokeswoman Margaret Stewart said.
In a report released on Friday, SCE said their preliminary investigation found a downed conductor near an electrical tower in the area at 10:11 p.m Tuesday, minutes prior to the Hurst fire being reported.
However, the company issued a statement saying it was unsure whether the damage observed occurred before or after the fire.
No structures were reported damaged and all evacuation orders and warnings have been lifted.
FEMA awarded the state a Fire Management Assistance Grant to help fund the fight against the Hurst Fire, as it also did for the Palisades and Eaton fires, according to Gov. Gavin Newsom’s office.
