Malibu is used to fires, and much of the central area of the city — including Pepperdine University — was under an evacuation order.
At Malibu Bluffs Park at the end of Malibu Canyon, the Franklin fire reached the ocean. The fire jumped Pacific Coast Highway, charring the trees and baseball outfields. This is a hallmark of Malibu fires, where the Santa Ana wind push flames over the mountains and hillside and down to the beach. The coastal city is used to fires, and much of the central area of the city — including Pepperdine University — was under an evacuation order.
Near the Malibu Pier, a lone surfer caught waves while two lifeguards stood watch from their truck. In the distance the sound of helicopters could be heard. The fire burned down Malibu Canyon, charring hillsides, but seemingly spared dozens of homes in its march to the shore. An outbuilding separate from a main house in Malibu Knolls burned, but other homes around it were unscathed. In Carbon Canyon, hand crews toiled cutting containment lines around the fire.
