Soĺ Cal fires

ProjectBazza said
Anyone know how close the Palisades fire is to the Ronald Reagan Hospital at UCLA? I can’t seem to find an accurate update.

My nephew Jared works there, having received his Doctorate Degree just last year from the David Geffen School of Medicine (I had to look that one up). On Friday he told my father that his car was on the “second level in the basement”, which I understand to mean is underground, so he’s pretty sure that’s safe. And he’s moved most of his belongings into his GF’s apartment (no location given), but here’s the kicker: He told dad that if the hospital was threatened, he doubted they would close it down.

Which has my 88 year old mother all freaked-out….

Trying to find some sort of “local source of info” (site, etc) to stay on top of this, and any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

The Hospital nor campus is not any any real danger at this time. It's on the other side of the 405 fwy and south of fire front. It's a good 6-8 miles away from anything. tons of stuff/concrete in between.

This is a large area. But notice closely the area labeled Pacific Palisades is where the suburban-like homes are. Off the grey roads in the hills the multi acre estate homes are just off the roads. rest is rugged mountain side uninhabited.
