Wildfire map of LA area from NASA FIRMS.
NASA's Fire Information for Resource Management System (FIRMS) distributes Near Real-Time active fire data from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) aboard the Aqua and Terra satellites, and the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) aboard S-NPP, NOAA 20 and NOAA 21.
JPL is closed except for emergency personnel. No fire damage so far but it is very close to the lab.

In response to this postSome NASA services hosted at JPL are now offline or nonoperational.
E.g. - DSN now and JPL Horizons.
The DSN Goldstone site in Barstow is probably OK.
The update from JPL at https://nasawatch.com/personnel-news/jpl-fire-update/ also stated that "Hundreds of JPLers have been evacuated from their homes & many have lost homes. Special thx to our emergency crews. Pls keep us in your thoughts & stay safe."
