Shouldn’t be a problem for him, Sierra Madre is quite a few miles east of this fire.
With quite a few industrial centers, freeways, and urban areas between him and the fire.
The prevailing winds this time of year blow from east to west, and the flow reversal at night brings in damp offshore winds.
The damp sea air can really slow a fire down, makes it easier to control.
the air is dry and no moisture or rain in sight even at the beach. Santa Ana winds dry the air.
Thanks.
