My boss has lived in Bonny Doon for 30 years. Last year her family home was threatened by wildfire for the first time in all these years. This year, the house is at risk for the second time. This morning's voluntary evacuations turned into "mandatory evacuations for the Bonny Doon area affecting 500-1,000 homes... also a mandatory evacuation of approximately 300 people in the Swanton area." according to Cal Fire. The fire is called the Lockheed Fire because it began close to the company's property on Wednesday evening. The Santa Cruz Sentinel has updates and helpful links (photo also by Shmuel Thaler/Sentinel), although the Cal Fire website loads very slowly, specifically the Lockheed Fire page, probably due to high traffic.
