Malibu Wildfire Unites Community Amid Celebrity Evacuations and Personal Losses
The Franklin Fire has burned approximately 4,037 acres and is 7% contained. Topanga Canyon is open, but PCH is closed from Topanga to Kanan. Power has been restored to Malibu, and all traffic signals are operational. Mandatory evacuation orders remain for areas south of Piuma Road and north of the Pacific Ocean, while evacuation warnings are in place for other nearby regions. Several road closures are still in effect, and Malibu schools will remain closed. Residents are urged to stay informed and follow evacuation orders.
