Kenneth Fire that sparked in West Hills is now fully contained

A brush fire that erupted in West Hills Thursday afternoon is now fully contained, according to Cal Fire. 

The Kenneth Fire burned 1,052 acres in Los Angeles and Ventura counties.

Firefighters worked overnight to put out the remaining hot spots and prevent flare ups before gusty winds return this week.

On Sunday, officials said the fire was 100% contained. 

A mandatory evacuation order was issued for the people between Vanowen Street and Burbank Boulevard, from County Lane Road east to Valley Circle Boulevard, but shortly before 5:30 p.m., that mandatory order was reduced to an evacuation warning as the fire burned its way primarily into Ventura County.

All evacuation orders and warnings were lifted as of 8 p.m. Thursday and deputies were checking the ID's of people moving through the area to be sure they were residents.

No structures were damaged.

According to LAPD, the fire is being investigated as arson.

A person was detained by a group of Woodland Hills residents Thursday night on the 21700 block of Ybarra Road, but according to LAPD Assistant Chief Dominic Choi, there wasn't enough evidence to arrest the man for arson or suspicion of arson. 

The man was, however, arrested on suspicion of a felony probation violation.
