The 5,370-acre Canyon Fire burning near Lake Piru in Ventura County and Los Angeles County is now 47% contained, according to Cal Fire.

All evacuation orders and warnings have been lifted, and the Red Cross wildfire shelter at College of the Canyons has closed.

Crews worked throughout the night to improve defensive positions and further secure the fire's perimeter. Overnight fire activity was minimal as firefighters worked to continue strengthening existing control lines, Cal Fire said.

Weather on Saturday continued to be hot and dry with temperatures in the mid-90s, with relative humidity in the 19-24% range and winds gusting up to 20 mph along ridge tops. Historically, dry vegetation contributes to the ongoing potential for rapid fire growth and significant fire behavior.

All previous evacuation orders in the 5,370-acre Canyon Fire were moved to evacuation warnings in both Los Angeles and Ventura County. All previous evacuation warnings in both areas were removed.

The 5,370-acre Canyon Fire burning near Lake Piru in Ventura County and Los Angeles County -- fueled by bone-dry brush and extreme heat -- is now 28% contained, according to the Los Angeles County Fire Department.

With dry, rugged terrain, hot temperatures, and low humidity, firefighters say they are still in for a tough battle.

The department said air attack and ground crews persisted through Friday's intense heat to capitalize on Thursday's progress and minimize the fire's growth.

Fire growth was limited to just over 500 acres despite the challenging conditions, the department said. The progress allowed the command staff to downgrade many evacuation levels in several zones.

Three firefighters suffered minor injuries and were transported to a local hospital. Officials said they are expected to fully recover.

"This afternoon, we're starting to see the temperatures come back up, we're seeing winds start to pick up. There's still a risk here. Fire is still burning, and we're still going to be incredibly vigilant until we get this fire contained," said Andrew Dowd with Ventura County Fire.

Despite the rapid spread on Thursday, no homes have been lost -- a major victory for firefighters working overnight.

"The fire department. They were flying all night long. That's why I felt safe. Our fire department out here in Santa Clarita is incredible. They do an incredible job. They've saved us a lot of times, and it's been amazing, and I really appreciate them a lot," said Hasley Canyon resident Mike Kavathas.

Evacuation warnings remain in effect for several communities in the area. Castaic High School was closed Friday as the fire burns near its northern perimeter.
