A wildfire reported around 11 p.m. Monday, Dec.

9, has prompted evacuations in Malibu and a shelter-in-place order at Pepperdine University. The Franklin Fire broke out during a night of Santa Ana winds in the Los Angeles area. The National Weather Service had issued a red-flag warning designating a “particularly dangerous situation” until Tuesday afternoon in mountainous areas from Ventura to the San Gabriel Mountains.

Shortly before sunrise Tuesday, the fire’s area was estimated at 1,800 acres (2.8 square miles). The map above shows the mandatory evacuation area in red, with the approximate fire perimeter indicated by the black line.

Pepperdine said much of the campus was without power. Final exams scheduled for Tuesday were postponed. For updates on evacuations, including warning zones, see the Genasys Protect map or the Los Angeles County emergency website .
