Its a bad year when CZU burns at all. Those timber duff fires are going to take the better part of a month to mop up.

Additionally it sounds like a new fire was reported at Upper 236 x China Grade
Multiple spot fires and Santa Cruz county depleting engines.
Iāve been monitoring the command channels and it sounds like multiple spots are occurring north of the community of Boulder Creek. By jumping from hundreds of acres this morning to 7,500 tonight in 1,000 and 10,000 hour fuels this complex should get pushed up the priority list for resources.
