“They had to wind through some back streets, but eventually they came out onto San Vicente a few blocks north of Beverly and headed south along the long, gradual curve, having to dodge around only one fallen tree, and then the huge, hulking mass of the Beverly Center was looming before them, lit a pale orange by the fire to the north. In his rearview mirror Dave could see the fire covering the hillside. He assumed it wouldn’t spread quite as rapidly in the urbanized setting south of Sunset, but ...beyond that there was simply no telling how far it might reach.
