The fire has burned 4,200 acres burned. It is now 35% contained, and officials expect full containment by Tuesday. Mayor Robert Kennedy praised the efforts of the Navy, the L.A. County Fire Department and the L.A. County Sheriff’s Department. ‘Without that response we wouldn’t be standing in front of you today,’ he said.

Seven hundred people from various agencies are fighting the fire.

County Supervisor Don Knabe praised the assistance. ‘The good Lord willing, the weather holds, and the wind stays down, we’re in pretty good shape,’ said Knabe.
