Bay Area Fire Updates: More than 300,000 acres scorched, evacuations continue
Hundreds of thousands of acres across the Bay Area have been scorched by three large fire complexes which continued to burn with almost zero containment Thursday morning, forcing thousands of Bay Area residents to flee, destroying hundreds of buildings and stymieing overburdened firefighters amid a crushing heat wave. In total, the three fire complexes had burned through more than 300,000 acres across a dozen counties in the region and beyond, fueled by high temperatures and rough hilly terrain.
-The LNU Complex, in the North Bay, jumped I-80 and forced evacuations in Vacaville and Fairfield. It had burned 131,000 acres and was still 0% contained Thursday morning.-Cap#1
-The SCU Complex, in the South Bay and further east, had engulfed 137,475 acres of remote land by Thursday morning. Fire crews had that blaze 5% contained, and it still had yet to reach any structures.
-The CZU Complex, on the Peninsula, had grown to 40,000 acres by Thursday morning and was still 0% contained. The blaze grew by about 15,000 acres overnight and fire officials said they expect “significant growth” in the next 48 hours. It had already entered Big Basin State Park, home to thousand-year-old Redwoods, and destroyed multiple historic structures at the state’s oldest nature preserve.
