A new wildfire that started Monday night in the Santa Cruz Mountains has injured two firefighters and prompted evacuations in the area around Boulder Creek, according to fire officials.The South Bay fire ignited just as thousands of firefighters were getting a handle on blazes burning in the North Bay and throughout Northern California that destroyed thousands of homes and killed 41 people, including a contract firefighter who crashed a water truck near a fire line in Napa County on Monday.The Bear Fire in the Santa Cruz Mountains, a 125-acre wildfire that started off of Bear Creek Road southwest of San Jose, began about 10:30 p.m. (PST) Monday, according to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, also known as Cal Fire.Two firefighters suffered moderate injuries as they fought the wildfire, with at least one involving smoke inhalation, said Cal Fire administrative officer Ginny Petras.Residents in the nearby area have been evacuated.Angela Bernheisel, a Cal Fire spokeswoman, said the fire started in a house and quickly spread to vegetation in the area. She said about 150 homes in the Las Cumbres community were being threatened.Crews have been limited to the ground as they fight the fire, with aircraft expected to begin operations when the sun rises, Petras said. Emergency vehicles are having difficulty accessing the fire due to the steep terrain and road closures from the washout of Highway 35 after flooding in the area last winter, she said.For now, the fire is not making rapid forward progress.“It’s going into heavy brush and timber at a moderate rate of spread,” Petras said, saying the wildfire could reach between 600 to 1,000 acres. “Depending on what happens when the sun comes up.”
