A fire has torched 75 to 100 at least 500 acres in Larkin Valley of Santa Cruz County between the Watsonville airport and Seascape Golf course, according to ABC 7. Also, parts of Highway 1 are currently closed in both directions in the area. (Northbound traffic, though, has been diverted at Miramonte Avenue and southbound traffic at San Andreas Blvd.) Evacuations have been orders for a few residences of the area.
According to TV news reports, passersby spotted someone along Highway 1 in Watsonville getting out of his or her and starting the fires.
Over in Oakland, a six-alarm fire (or three-alarm fire depending on who you read) is currently roaring at "several buildings in the area of International Boulevard and 93rd avenues." No injuries have been reported.
If you remember, just last month thousands of acres were burned in the Santa Cruz mountains just last month. Be careful out there, people.



wow, looking toward watsonville looked like someone set off an abomb. i'm in sc, about fifteen miles away, but it is so how and dry. no wind up here tonight so that's good. some good pics on local tv stations...ksbw etc.
and watsonville still wants to sell fireworks for the forth. everyone is in a tizzy, and rightfully so.
drove by the area where the fire started last week and we commented on how bone dry it was...and this was before it turned summer. going to be a long dangerous summer.
