UPDATE: The city of Malibu is advising residents in Puerco Canyon to begin evacuating due to a wildfire driven by powerful winds. This area is north of Pacific Coast Highway and about 1 mile west of Pepperdine University. Residents along the beach on Malibu Road may soon be evacuated. Pacific Coast Highway is closed between Kanan-Dume Road and Topanga Canyon. Residents are advised to head to the west. Evacuation centers are being set up in the Zuma Beach area.

A wildfire driven by powerful winds in the Malibu Hills this morning threatened a university, destroyed at least one home and forced the evacuation of hundreds more, authorities said.

My mom and niece are evacuating their homes as of 10:30 PM PDT. She lives out near Valhalla High School on the south edge of El Cajon. Both of them are headed to a safer location in Chula Vista.

High potential the “Witch Fire” may enter the CITY LIMITS OF SAN DIEGO!

Affected residents will begin receiving reverse 911 calls soon.

WOW!

College of the Canyons fire a few years back. Got a Fire Chief screaming at me to get his coms up so he can talk to mutual aid coming in from up north.

Ah Chief, you’re not going to like this. It ain’t a simple fix.

Some genious made the decision to reband NOCAL and leave SOCAL for the next year.

Naturally there was a big fire and no one could talk to each other.

Oh dear, a friend moved up there last year. I reminded him about the snow, the ice and now he’s looking at fire danger.
