The fire has expanded to 200 acres and remains 0% contained. Driven by Santa Ana winds and bone-dry brush, the fire is moving downhill with active spotting on its left flank, increasing the risk to homes. Forecasters predict wind gusts could reach 50 to 60 mph tonight, while crews focus on containment lines north of the Pacific Coast Highway and south of Mulholland Highway to stop the advance.
