Mandatory evacuation orders have been lifted for the Hurst Fire in the San Fernando Valley community of Sylmar as progress is made by firefighters, authorities said Thursday.

In a report released on Friday, SCE said their preliminary investigation found a downed conductor near an electrical tower in the area at 10:11 p.m Tuesday, minutes prior to the Hurst fire being reported. However, the company issued a statement saying it was unsure whether the damage observed occurred before or after the fire.
