The brush fire that began in Agua Dulce Wednesday afternoon had reached 98% containment as of Thursday afternoon, with its estimated acreage revised downward from 150 acres to 86 acres due to updated mapping, according to Los Angeles County Fire Department representative Kaitlyn Aldana. 

Aldana said firefighters were able to increase the fire containment from 58% to 98% on Thursday. She also said no structures were threatened as of Thursday afternoon. 

There was, however, one reported injury, which officials said was heat-related. This is in addition to the two other minor injuries reported Thursday morning. 
 
As of Thursday, the excessive heat warning continued to be in effect until 9 p.m., according to the National Weather Service. The temperature was expected to go down from 98 degrees to 80 degrees by 10 p.m.
