The fire is reportedly now within just three miles from the frum communities of Hancock Park and Beverlywood, the closest such blaze has ever come to the frum communities in Los Angeles.
According to sources cited by Yeshiva World News, “HaRav Gershon Bess has told his congregants to take their Sifrei Torah home with them as a precaution”.
That order was in place for Laurel Canyon Boulevard on the west to Mulholland Drive, with others in nearby areas warned to be ready to leave.
Mandatory evacuation orders also remained in place near the Palisades fire west of Los Angeles, including parts of Santa Monica. People have also been told to leave their homes in the San Fernando Valley near the Hurst fire. Others were told to leave their residences in parts Altadena because of the Eaton fire.

Spoke to my son who lives in Beverlywood. So far all is ok
It looks like there are a lot of “fire bugs” going around and setting fires all over LA, and elsewhere especially where religious Jews live.
Wherever there is chillul shabbos the fires occur.
