The Maria Fire, which broke out on Thursday near the community of Santa Paula about USEN70 miles northwest of downtown Los Angeles, had destroyed two structures and burned more than 9,400 acres , the Ventura County Fire Department said on Sunday. All evacuation orders were lifted on Saturday, when the fire department said the blaze was 20% contained. More than 10,000 residents had been told to evacuate at the peak of the fire’s rapid spread.
Southern California Edison had shut off power in the area because of concerns that an electrical mishap could spark a wildfire. The utility and fire officials have said the cause of the blaze is still under investigation.
