Malibu Wildfire Spreading, Destroys More Than a Dozen Homes

More than 100 homes have been evacuated in Malibu as another wildfire has sparked concern for residents of the Los Angeles community as dry Santa Ana winds continue to fuel the flames.

 

At least 12 homes have been destroyed by the blaze that has already scorched 1,500 acres near Malibu Lake, heading down toward the Pacific coast.

 

Firefighters have yet to contain the wildfire as the Santa Ana winds continue to fan the rolling inferno with gusts up to 60 mph. Students at local Pepperdine University have already moved their students to a campus shelter and residents in the area have left their houses behind as they moved out ahead of the impending fires.
