From San Jose Fire Department:

The threat to San Jose due to the #SCULightningComplex fire is currently minimal. The line on the western side of the fire along our city border is well enforced. We’ll continue to monitor the situation and encourage residents to be ready for changing conditions and to follow CAL FIRE for ongoing updates.

CAL FIRE reduced Evacuation Orders in Santa Clara to Warnings at 4pm on Monday, August 24, 2020. To review the latest details on this incident including the revised Evacuation Warning for Santa Clara County, visit https://www.fire.ca.gov/inciden…/…/18/scu-lightning-complex/

From County of Santa Clara Public Health Department:

The air quality for portions of Santa Clara County is currently in the Unhealthy and Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups range, which is expected to continue through Tuesday. When air quality is unhealthy, everybody, especially people with heart or lung disease, older adults, children, and teens, should avoid strenuous outdoor activities, keep outdoor activities short, or consider moving them indoors. Be sure to reduce activity level if you experience any unusual coughing, chest discomfort, wheezing, breathing difficulty, or unusual fatigue. Due to current fire conditions in the Bay Area, the air quality is subject to change – visit http://bit.ly/SCC-AirNow for updates.

From SCCGOV.ORG:

This week, CAL FIRE issued Evacuation Orders and Evacuation Warnings impacting large portions of Santa Cruz County and Eastern Santa Clara County.  More than 60,000 Santa Cruz County residents have been forced to evacuate.  For a map of the evacuation areas in Santa Clara County, visit here. 

For an evacuation map of Santa Cruz County see here.

Note: Residents living in areas under an Evacuation Order need to immediately move out of the area due to an imminent threat. Residents living in areas under an Evacuation Warning are advised of a potential threat to life and property and urged to prepare for evacuation, which may become necessary.  Those who require additional time to evacuate, and those with pets and livestock should leave now if they live in an Evacuation Warning zone.

Limit Outdoor Activity with Unhealthy Air Quality

High temperatures and regional wildfires have produced unhealthy air quality in Santa Clara County. As we take precautions in light of air quality and fire, we must continue to protect ourselves and our loved ones from COVID-19.

The County of Santa Clara Public Health Department urges those with health conditions who need to stay indoors because of the smoke to shelter at home, where they can be safe from both smoke and COVID-19.

When residents leave their homes, they should continue following all COVID-19 precautions, including wearing face coverings when in public.

The air quality varies across the county, and more information on conditions where you live are available at airnow.gov. County residents should avoid any strenuous outdoor activities until air quality improves, and should avoid being outdoors for an extended amount of time. 

 All County-run COVID-19 testing sites – both drop-in and appointment only – will remain open. Additional safeguards for patrons and staff are in place in light of the wildfires and heat.

Have a Plan Ready in the Event of Evacuation

Containment of the wildfires is still very limited at this point.  Dry thunderstorms are possible again late Saturday through Tuesday of next week, which bring the potential for the start of new fires. Residents are always encouraged to have an emergency plan in place during fire season. Visit the Santa Clara County Fire Department or the CalFire website for a ready, set, go plan. Have a plan and be ready to GO immediately in the event of an evacuation.
