Malibu resident awakens to see, report fire in Point Dume

Point Dume resident Margaret Hauptman said her husband, George, woke her up at roughly 5:30 a.m. Nov. 27, and she called 911 to report a fire near Cliffside Drive and Grasswood Avenue. “Thank God it was raining!” she wrote in an email to the Surfside News. “The sparks were showering down to the shrubs below and to the houses across the street. It took the fire department around 20 minutes to extinguish the fire.”
