California State University – Northridge has cancelled all classes and campus activities for Friday, Saturday and Sunday due to the Saddleridge Fire. Housing and residential dining for students will remain open and staffed, CSUN said in a statement. The school plans to provide an update at 3 p.m. on Sunday. “Our thoughts are with those who have been affected by the Saddleridge Fire, which continues to burn in multiple communities in the north San Fernando Valley,” CSUN said in a statement.
