MALIBU, CALIFORNIA, UNITED STATES - Aerial view of wildfire fanned by strong wind burning just northwest of Los Angeles An evacuation order is in place near the city of Malibu in the US state of California after a wildfire broke out with a "rapid rate of spread". The blaze has been dubbed the Franklin Fire by authorities, who say it has burned more than 300 acres in Malibu Canyon after starting at about 22:50 local time on Monday (06:50 GMT). It is not yet clear what caused the blaze, which has been labelled a brush fire - meaning a type of blaze that affects lower-lying vegetation such as grasses. The evacuation order covered a region east of Malibu Canyon Road and South of Piuma Road as well as the Serra Retreat area, the County of Los Angeles Fire Department said. Parts of Malibu are under mandatory evacuation as firefighters try to control the Franklin Fire, according to officials. The fire was discovered Monday night, and firefighters responded to the then 100-acre fire, stated a post made on X, formerly known as Twitter, by the Los Angeles County Fire Department. However, the fire has since spread, consuming 1,822.4 acres of land, according to CalFire. The fire started near Pepperdine University in Malibu, reported local outlet KTLA 5, and is impacting other structures, like the Malibu Pier, which is 2 miles away from the university, according to the City of Malibu. #brushfire #malibu #california #usatoday #cnbctv18 #Livenews #wildfire
