The U.S. Forest Service says 100 acres have burned and full containment is expected on Sunday. Restoration efforts were in progress on Friday in the burn area.

The Santa Barbara County Fire Department assisted the Los Padres National Forest on the firefighting efforts.

The cause is under investigation.
