  "summary": "Several brush fires have been burning across southern California on Friday, forcing evacuations near Malibu due to strong, hot, dry winds that fueled the flames. The Bryson Fire, which grew to about 81 hectares (200 acres) and threatened a Los Angeles County juvenile detention and rehabilitation facility, prompted authorities to order residents to evacuate the Encinal Canyon area near Malibu. The National Weather Service forecast stronger gusts overnight, potentially intensifying the fires. The blaze was first reported around 5 p.m. local time on Thursday, north of Malibu, and was burning about 32 kilometers (20 miles) west of the area devastated by the Palisades Fire in January 2025. Power companies cut supplies to about 127,000 customers across California to reduce the risk of electrical equipment sparking further fires.",
