Dozens of people are believed to have died in the Palisades and Eaton fires, which have burned down whole swaths of communities

L.A. County's first significant storm in more than eight months has already forced the closure of I-5, unleashed mud on roadways, and closed Malibu's public schools.

All public Malibu schools will be closed Monday due to the storm causing dangerous road conditions and bringing challenges with accessing the schools, the Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District announced.

More than an inch of rain fell in many areas, loosening Los Angeles hillsides burned bare by the recent blaze near the Pacific Palisades neighborhood.

All Malibu-area schools will be closed on Monday due to the risk posed by unsafe road condition in the area following heavy rain near the Palisades Fire burn scar.

Three active fires in Los Angeles neared full containment Sunday, as the region receives much-needed rain that has produced flood and mudslide warnings lasting through Monday. Saturday, 4:00 p.m. PST Cal Fire data marked the Palisades Fire at 87% containment, the Eaton Fire at 95% containment and the Hughes Fire at 92% containment.

The rain is raising concerns about potential mudslides in recent burn scar areas, including Malibu, Altadena, and other regions.

After weekend rainfall caused mudslides in wildfire burn scar areas and snow created dangerous driving conditions, several roadways and schools remain closed across the Southern California region.

The return of the rain in Los Angeles has triggered Flash Flood Warnings, mudslides and debris flows in burn-scar areas, forcing officials to close roads and schools in the region.

President Donald Trump and LA Mayor Karen Bass briefly argued over the timeline for allowing evacuated residents to return and rebuild after the Palisades Fire.

Twenty-eight people have died across the Los Angeles area. Officials have said the true death toll isn’t known as the fires continue to burn.
