Wildfire Incidents

I report on wildfires, evacuations, shelter, weather, scanner, earthquakes, & road closures in California. 🛰🛩🔥🚒👩‍🚒🚁

[CAL FIRE CZU @CALFIRECZU]

Earlier today, just after 1:45p.m., CAL FIRE CZU firefighters, Santa Cruz County Fire Company 32, and Felton Fire Protection District firefighters responded to reports of a confirmed structure fire in Bonny Doon.

CAL FIRE CZU Engine 1773 was the first on scene, reporting a fully involved detached trailer, along with an adjacent deck and an improved area covered in woodchips.

Thanks to aggressive suppression efforts, the fire was successfully contained and did not spread to the vegetation.

Crews remained on scene actively working through overhaul operations to ensure all hot spots were completely extinguished.

The cause of this fire is under investigation.

Great multi-agency teamwork keeping our community safe!

🐐🐑 Hungry, hardworking, and helping protect communities from wildfire.

In Southern California, one landowner is putting 900 goats and sheep to work using funding from a CAL FIRE Wildfire Prevention Grant. These four-legged helpers graze on vegetation that can fuel wildfires, helping reduce hazardous fuel loads and lower wildfire risk.

As this #ABC7 story highlights, targeted grazing can benefit not only the land but the entire surrounding community. The grant was secured with support from the landowner’s local Fire Safe Council, showing how community partnerships can turn wildfire prevention into action.
