The 4.037-acre blaze began shortly before 11 p.m. Dec. 9 in a Malibu Canyon area where a high volume of dry brush contributed to its rapid spread.

Crews have been making steady progress on the Franklin Fire in Malibu Canyon since the red flag conditions subsided.

Despite the return of gusting Santa Ana winds, firefighters were able to prevent the Franklin fire in Malibu from spreading overnight, with the blaze remaining at 4,037 acres and containment increasing from 78% to 89%.

Three schools shut down by the Franklin Fire in Malibu are reopening Monday and a fourth remains closed for repairs as containment of the 4,037-acre brushfire has grown to 54%, authorities said.

The fire erupted during extreme Santa Ana winds. The National Weather Service issued "a particularly dangerous" red-flag warning for much of the local area for the second time in a little over a month. Those are triggered during extreme conditions, ones that can cause fires to ignite easily and spread quickly, officials said.

The Franklin Fire that started in the Malibu area earlier this month is now 100% contained, according to Cal Fire. The fire was first reported on Monday Dec. 9 and quickly grew to over 4,000 acres.
