Several schools in the Pacific Palisades area are taking precautionary measures as a wildfire continues to spread in the hillside enclave. The Los Angeles United School District has announced that students from Palisades Charter Elementary School, Marquez Charter Elementary School, Paul Revere Charter Middle School, and Topanga Elementary Charter will be relocated to other school campuses.
The decision to move the students comes as the fire poses a threat to the safety of the school communities. The district is working to ensure that the relocation process is smooth and that students are kept out of harm's way.
Pepperdine University in Malibu, which faced a similar threat from the Franklin Fire last month, is closely monitoring the situation. Fortunately, the university is currently not at risk as the fire is approximately nine miles away from the campus as of 1:30 p.m. local time.
Authorities are urging residents in the affected areas to stay informed and follow evacuation orders if necessary. Firefighters are working tirelessly to contain the blaze and protect the surrounding communities.
As the situation continues to evolve, residents and students are advised to stay vigilant and cooperate with emergency responders to ensure everyone's safety.
