Malibu wildfire explodes in size, forcing evacuations and destroying homes

A fast-moving wildfire, known as the Franklin Fire, has scorched over 2,200 acres in Malibu, Calif., triggering evacuations and a large-scale firefighting effort. Evacuations began shortly after midnight for a region home to about 18,000 residents. The brush fire blaze forced students at Pepperdine University to shelter in place overnight, as it knocked out power and led some students to evacuate to the school's commons and library. The cause of the fire remains unknown but is under active investigation, officials confirmed.
