Fire came as close as 30 yards.

Library spokeswoman Melissa Giller said around midmorning that the hilltop museum in Simi Valley was not damaged. She said that the flames came within about 30 yards (27 meters) of the property but that it was protected by aircraft dropping water and by a firebreak, or a buffer zone cleared of brush. https://www.foxbusiness.com/energy/reagan-library-in-california-surrounded-by-flames-may-burn
