SUMMARY OF THE VIDEO

“Franklin Fire Aftermath 5: Heading North from the Pacific Ocean on Malibu Canyon Road – 20 December 2024”
By Alice B. Clagett

I’m approaching the entrance to Malibu Canyon Road at Pepperdine University right now. Let’s see if we can get any photos. From the other direction I am approaching the Michael Landon Community Center, but I am going to turn right at Malibu Canyon Road. Yeah, It looks like it.

[Now Pepperdine University is on my left.] I see the fire burned on the opposite side of the road. I will bet that was scary for the students. It burned behind the University too. Oops! A big burn right there. Oh, burned all over there too [to the right], but not in the housing development, I think.

Gee. Gee. You know, I thought there was a fire in Malibu not too long ago, right? I thought this area was all burned down right much. Guess I am wrong about that.

I see a work area. There are fire fighters, I guess. I guess they are waiting in case the fire should flare up again someplace. I will bet that is it.

Oh boy. Wow. Hope I got some of that footage. Oh gee; it leaped over to the righthand side of the road too. Why right here of all places? Oh gosh.

Oh golly. Oh my. Oh my! Oh my! Gosh! These tall mountains were burned up to the top here. Gosh, I wonder if those houses that sit on the very top of the mountains made it through ok.

Oh golly, Malibu Canyon Road is looking right rough through here. Oh my. That is Francisco Ranch Road to the left … It is a private road. On the right, it is business as usual for Bonsai.

Oh golly. Well. This reminds me of the area north of Ojai … on that road that goes north of Ojai … some years ago, when it burned. The mountains looked a little like this.

Gee. I wonder how it looks over at Malibu Creek State Park.

Oh golly. I hope I got some of that footage. Gee.

Up at the top of that mountain I see some trees that made it.

When I am driving like this I cannot tell what kind of pictures I am getting. I hope some of it is coming out ok.

Gee. I think I see some greenery up this way. So some of Malibu Creek and Malibu Canyon Road is burned, but up this way … where the road takes a sharp turn … that might have cut the wind off. And then over here north of the curve it is not burned.

Well this caught fire right here to the right of the road. But down in the creek bed the trees are not burned.Not here.

Golly.

Ok, so that is the story: People were afraid the fire was going to come roaring up the creek, and the fire got halfway up the creek, and it looks like it may have been properly stopped right there. That would make at least some portion of Malibu Creek State Park safe from the fire. And Gillette Ranch would have been safe.

I am sure they were concerned. But it looks like, as things stand, and unless the fire starts back up again, it will probably be ok.

That is it for now, guys, on the Franklin Fire Watch! You all, take care! Have a great Holiday Season!
