SANTA CRUZ COUNTY, CA Officials have lifted all evacuation orders and firefighters expected full containment Wednesday night on most, if not all, of the wildfires blazing across Santa Cruz County.
Now, Cal Fire San Mateo-Santa Cruz Unit Chief Ian Larkin is calling on the public to remain vigilant in the months to come, as this winter has been an unusually dry one. Fire is possible year-round, he said in a statement.
