SCOTTS VALLEY – The CZU Lightning Complex Fire burning in the mountains of Santa Cruz and San Mateo counties swelled to 48,000 acres Thursday, leading authorities to completely evacuate the communities of Felton, Zayante and Scotts Valley.
“It’s an historic event,” said Ian Larkin, chief of CalFire’s San Mateo-Santa Cruz Unit. “We have not seen fires burn like this in either one of these counties for many, many years. And those fires were much smaller than what we have in front of us today.”
