SCCFD has staffed several additional fire engines and will continue to proactively staff for the near future. The CZU Lightning Complex is a dynamic incident, however there are currently no evacuations and no threat to residents in the SCCFD service area (Redwood Estates/Lexington Hills, Los Gatos, Campbell, Monte Sereno, Saratoga, Cupertino, Los Altos, Los Altos Hills).
