An evacuation order has been issued near the city of Malibu, in the US state of California, after the outbreak of a forest fire with a “rapid rate of spread.”
The fire has been named the Franklin Fire by authorities, who say it has burned more than 300 acres in the Malibu Canyon after starting around 10:50 p.m. local time on Monday (06:50 GMT).
It is still unclear what caused the fire, which has been labeled a bush fire, that is, a type of fire that affects lower vegetation, such as grass.
The evacuation order covered a region east of Malibu Canyon Road and south of Piuma Road, as well as the Serra Retreat area, the Los Angeles County Fire Department said.
