3. Those canyons were a disaster waiting to happen

Steep terrain, thousands of acres of dry brush, it was inevitable.

That area is very populated. Houses of many wealthy (notably Hollywood types and those who work in the industry) up and down the hills.

6. It's in that general vicinity

but not sure where the fire is in relation to that.

It's sad that the state finally got enough rain a few years ago to just about erase their severe drought but then that rain helped to sprout all kinds of fresh growth that eventually became the brush that is burning now.
