Fires roar through Southern California

Fires are roaring through southern California. The blazes have led to at least 1 death and 8 injuries.

Wildfires near Malibu have caused part of the Pacific Coast Highway to be shut down. At least 200 family homes in the Malibu area have been evacuated.

Firefighters say the flames could threaten thousands of homes and businesses.

They are still searching for the cause of the blazes.

Fires are notorious in the west and seem to happen a lot in the fall when foliage is dying and the winds quickly move the fires across heat baked lands.
