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.

Yea, he accepted a load from Pennsylvania yesterday.
Actually, with brush, you sometimes allow to happen because it means you have to build twenty five percent less fire line once it happens.
I said to contact you!
But I certainly dont think there should be 22 different threads!
It is so much simpler with Pacific storms.
All I know is that there will be 100,000 people at Qualcomm and no looting or firing on helicopters.
Yes the difference is like umm night and day...
Where are they going to? Do they have plans???
You can COUNT on our prayers!!!!
Hey Norm, Looking at the map, a physical merger of the LA County fires would be something terrible. As I look at it the fire would have to cover big chunks of the San Frenando Valley. Maybe they mean putting fire management of the Santa Clarita area fires under a single fire management.
maybe they are still paying the teachers?
Praying for your children Empire!
There are already National Guardsmen at the Q (earlier new report on KUSI 9).
Hmmm. .. Now that I think about it, maybe it is better he is on the road. He is seriously type A.. and if he can’t do anything about it, maybe he will be better? We will see. I hope to talk to him in the morning.

Fire has burned the Boy Scout camp at Wilderness near Running Springs
That stopped a couple of decades ago. Teachers these days are frequently called on to be the custodian of the kid and to do the parenting that the biological parents don't have time to do. My dad quit teaching in the 80's after spending thirty years in the classroom. His final shot was, "If I wanted to be a warden, I wouldn't have gotten a teaching credential".
Thanks to both of you for the backfire definition!
