California Wildfire Forces Evacuation of 100 Homes in Malibu
By Nancy Kercheval

Nov. 24 (Bloomberg) -- A California wildfire, fanned by Santa Ana winds with gusts of 50 miles (80 kilometers) per hour, forced the evacuation of more than 100 homes near Malibu, said Los Angeles County fire officials.

Malibu was among areas between Los Angeles and San Diego hit by wildfires that burned last month for two weeks in Southern California. As many as 1 million people were forced to flee their homes.

``This fire is moving quickly in a south, southwest direction,'' said Captain Mike Brown in a broadcast interview. ``There's still a lot of unburned vegetation.''

More than 350 firefighters were on the scene of the blaze which started at 3:27 a.m. local time and had burned more than 300 acres (121 hectares) within three hours, Brown said.

The cause of the fire wasn't known, Brown said.

Malibu Fire: Wildfire Burns 1500 Hundred Acres, One Injury

Nov 24, 2007 (TODAY)!

A wildfire that started in the early morning hours has spread and is now burning through separate canyons in the region and residents have been evacuated. There are at least twelve homes that have been destroyed according to local radio reports. One injury has been reported. Heavy winds are driving the fire. The fire started at just after 3.am. local time.

There are no confirmed reports of the fire's origin, but speculation is that the fire may have been started by campers or possible even a party in the hills. Reporters on the scene claim that a procession of carload of teens and kids were heard honking as they left the areas where the fire started.

Right now eighteen helicopters are battling the blaze. Hundreds of firefighters were placed on watch this weekend as Santa Ana wind returned to Southern California. Gusts up to 60 mph were reported in some mountain passes overnight.

The Santa Ana winds have kicked up and the red flag warnng went into effect yesterday. It is warm and dry here.

Oh, no....poor California. My prayers are with all of you guys. I can't believe this is happening again. :blowkiss:

been watching it on Fox, and its not an easy thing to watch--dozens of expensive hillside homes being totally destroyed and burned to the ground, the misery is just never-ending over there

I just got back off my hiking trail which is usually closed when there is a fire. It is currently open and I was able to hike all the way to the top. It is still looking clear down here in South Orange County and North San Diego County.

Malibu is having a tough year.

How many of these destructive fires can CA take?
Prayers to those fighting the fires and to those who are otherwise affected by them.
