The fire started in Woolsey Canyon on the Santa Susana Field Laboratory property, in the Santa Susana Mountains above the Simi Valley near the boundary between Los Angeles and Ventura counties. Santa Ana winds, pushed the fire across the Ventura Freeway (US 101) and it headed into the rugged Santa Monica Mountains and south to the Pacific Ocean.
Hundreds of houses in Malibu were destroyed or damaged on both sides of Pacific Coast Highway (SR 1).

Although president Trump blamed it on poorly managed forests, it was not a forest fire.
