AROMAS — A wildfire burning east of the San Benito County town of Aromas had grown to nearly 100 acres by early Thursday evening and prompted evacuations near U.S. Highway 101.

Two separate fires began around 3:20 pm, about a quarter-mile apart from each other along Anzar Road, near Forest Road, but are collectively being called the Anzar Fire. Cal Fire reported just after 7 p.m. that the fire had grown to 86 acres, with 0% containment, and that it was sending a strike team to help battle the blaze.
