If you are in the Los Angeles area and want to know where Beaumont is you head towards Palm Springs on Interstate 10

Interstate 10 will take you to Beaumont where the Apple Fire is from all Los Angeles or Orange county locations. But, it's also true from most L.A. county and Orange county locations you likely can see the smoke now from the Apple Fire near Beaumont already if it's not too smoggy or smoky already in that area.
