Firefighters reported progress for the first time Saturday in containing the collection of fires raging across Santa Cruz and San Mateo counties, but warned that the trend could quickly change with weather conditions.
Calmer winds, lower temperatures and moisture from the marine layer allowed crews to form stronger fire lines from Davenport to La Honda against the 63,000-acre CZU Complex fire, Cal Fire officials said in a 6 a.m. briefing Saturday. The blaze is about 5% contained and has destroyed 97 structures.
