Firefighters are battling a three-alarm brushfire, dubbed the Franklin Fire, in Malibu near Pepperdine University amid high-wind warnings, officials confirmed to KTLA.  

It’s unclear exactly how the fire started, but crews with the Los Angeles County Fire Department responded to reports of the blaze, located near Malibu Canyon Road and Station Boundary, at around 10:45 p.m.

Initial reports put the fire at 10 acres, though by 11:45 p.m., officials said the wildfire had grown to 100 acres, prompting mandatory evacuation orders east of Malibu Canyon Road and south of Piuma Road, along with the Serra Retreat area, fire officials said in a post to X, formerly Twitter.

Those at Pepperdine University are being told to shelter in place, while officials with California Highway Patrol have closed portions of Pacific Coast Highway in the area so that evacuees have easy access to leave.
