Re: [RC] Wildland Fire, Brookdale Lodge, San Lorenzo Valley, Santa Cruz Co - Eric Drew

yes you would be correct. there was a natural gas explosion that caught both the buildings and the hillsides on fire. the fire is no longer spreading, however the CHP has both directions of hwy 9 through brookdale closed at this time

for a while there was the potential for a major fire but air tankers were full and above the Lockheed fire. they were diverted and dropped retardant on the fire stopping the spread before it could really get going.

we got lucky

Hi Eric,

Would it be correct to assume that this is NOT related to the Lockheed fire but rather that the Lodge caught fire, kitchen, arson, whatever, and then that fire is spreading to the hillsides?
