The Sepulveda Fire, which ignited at 12:36 a.m. on January 23, has burned 45 acres in Los Angeles County and is now 100% contained, meaning firefighters have successfully established control lines around the wildfire. This status allows for the fire to continue burning within the perimeter while ensuring it does not spread further. Containment does not equate to extinguishing the fire; it indicates that fire crews are focusing on managing the situation, including extinguishing any remaining hot spots as the cause of the fire remains under investigation.
Cal Fire reported that while the Sepulveda Fire is 100% contained, it continues to burn within the lines. Firefighters are focused on extinguishing hot spots.
