In an attempt to prevent wildfires, the utility company is removing vegetation from around power lines.

The fires include the CZU Complex, which ripped through the Santa Cruz Mountains to become the state’s ninth-most destructive fire.

The people affected by one of the largest fires in California history—the SCU Complex—still don’t qualify for FEMA relief.

A grand jury report called out several factors that make the Santa Cruz Mountains and surrounding areas particularly vulnerable.

The SCU, CZU and LNU Lightning complexes, River Fire and Carmel Fire have chewed through 892,313 acres across 15 counties.

The fires burning in the mountains south and west of San Jose have pushed 77,000 people to flee from Santa Cruz and San Mateo counties.

Firefighters made significant progress against the SCU Complex in the past day, allowing Cal Fire to ease some evacuation orders.

California has never seen anything like the lightning fires that struck amid a pandemic, rolling blackouts and a record heatwave.

The fires east of Santa Clara Valley have grown to more than 365,000 acres, making it the largest active fire in California.

In addition to cracking down on looting, officials said, they’re also trying to ensure that everyone complies with stay-away orders.

Fires raging all around the South Bay continue to close in, prompting new evacuation orders in the Tri-Valley, Morgan Hill and Los Gatos.

Evacuees of the 63,000-acre CZU Lightning Complex licking up bone-dry forests in the Santa Cruz Mountains share their stories of survival.

In three major clusters, they darkened skies, forced thousands to flee home and pushed California’s firefighting capacity to the brink.

The skies may have cleared up, but evacuation orders and advisories remain in effect today as the SCU Complex continues to rage.

Resident ordered to evacuate to escape the SCU Lightning Complex fire can find shelter at the Milpitas Library starting at 5pm.

Authorities continue to warn of harmful air quality as smoke drifts into Santa Clara Valley from numerous wildfires burning around the region.
