The wildfire was reaching the edges of the Pepperdine campus, according to several videos posted online by students. The university was also reporting power outages on campus. Students were being told to stay on campus and shelter in place, but they should be prepared to leave if necessary.
"The University understands the worst of the fire has pushed past Pepperdine," the school posted on X just before 3:30 a.m. "However, there are smaller spot fires on campus that are not threatening life or structures, and fire resources remain on campus to address these spot fires as they occur. Additionally, power remains out for much of Malibu and therefore, to ensure the safety of our community, we will maintain the shelter-in-place protocol until at least daylight. The EOC will continue to update the community."
Some videos showed trees on fire near the library where students were sheltering inside.
Firefighting helicopters were dipping into the school's lakes in Alumni Park to help with water drops.
