The Bryson Fire in Malibu has burned 146 acres and is now 17 percent contained, an improvement from just five percent containment overnight. The fire broke out Thursday afternoon as strong Santa Ana winds swept through the region. Those winds are expected to peak today, raising concerns that the flames could spread further. Officials say about 100 structures are considered threatened, with evacuation orders and warnings in place for areas near the fire. So far, no structures have been reported burned. Fire crews are working to strengthen containment lines and keep the fire from reaching nearby homes and other buildings. The strong winds, dry conditions and potential for sudden gusts are creating challenging conditions for firefighters. Residents in affected areas are urged to follow evacuation instructions and stay alert for updates from emergency officials. The situation remains active, and fire officials are monitoring changing weather conditions as crews continue efforts to contain the blaze and protect threatened properties.
