A wildfire that broke out near the Pacific Coast Highway on Sunday morning was threatening structures and forcing the evacuation of Pepperdine University and homes in the nearby Malibu Crest neighborhood, authorities said.

Malibu Fire Now at 400 Acres and 70 Engines

Los Angeles County Fire Department Inspector Frank Garraido reported this morning there is zero containment on the fire that broke out near Pepperdine University. Some confusion exists in the ferociousness of this fire but evacuations are in effect for Pepperdine University, Malibu Crest and Serra Retreat, Garraido said. There are more than 400 acres burned and growing, 70 engines from the County, City, and Forrest Service along with 4 water helicopters and 2 water planes. Currently there are no injuries reported to citizens or fire personnel.

Fire officials report the areas evacuation are Malibu Crest, Pepperdine and Serra Retreat, despite early reports of the evacuations in Malibu Colony.
Fire officials are not sure at this point how many stations are responding because help is coming from so many different directions.
Folks at Pepperdine University reported smelling smoke as early as midnight last night. Currently Smoke is reported smelled as far away as Topanga.

i know that everything gets reported and seen...especially sensational fires and what not...but there seems to be so many more of them anyone ever entertain the thought that many of these could be intentionaly set in a planned manner...it could be a form of terrorism

What was it, two days ago, yesterday, maybe that strong Santa Ana winds were forecast?

Never fails, alert the pyros and they come out with the road flares and BBQ lighters.

Just everyone who lives here. But our home-grown terrorists don't need much help. When the Santa Ana's start to blow, arsonists get the itch. Past history has shown that they are often firefighters, eager to make some extra money.
