One
month after the fire that engulfed MPC, a second fire has broken out in
Malibu that already has burned at least 35 structures and threatens
about 200 more. Several of our parishioners are evacuated from their
homes. Please pray for those affected by this second blaze.
As the Santa Ana Winds came again this morning, a fire broke out in
Corral and Latigo Canyons (about 5-10 miles north of Malibu
Presbyterian Church).
As of 11:00am - Associate Pastor Michael Mudgett and Winsome Whittemore have been evacuated from their homes. Please send any word of those affected by the fire.
From the LA Times:
The fire, driven by fierce 50-mph winds, engulfed homes along Newell Road in the Malibu Bowl area and Sycamore Road, and was burning west along Pacific Coast Highway toward Kanan Dume Road. It leaped PCH toward the ocean at several spots, but firefighters extinguished the hot spots.
The
evacuation zone included neighborhoods in Corral and Trancas canyons
and Malibu Bowl. An evacuation center has been opened at Agoura High
School.
About 750 firefighters, 45 fire engines, 10 water-dropping helicopters and two fixed-wings planes were attacking the blaze, which broke out at 3:30 a.m. at the top of Corral Canyon Road, fire officials said.

Please pray for the Churchill family who live in the Malibu Bowl area. As of this posting, they are unsure of whether their home has burned.
