CCOF is in a state of emergency response to the CZU August Lightning Complex fires burning across Santa Cruz and San Mateo counties, in addition to the SCU and LNU Lightning Complex fires burning throughout Northern California.
Here’s what you need to know:
CCOF has resumed services as of Monday, August 24. Response times will be limited as our home office and staff navigate the aftermath of the Santa Cruz area fires. Our office was not damaged, and company data remains secure.
For live updates, Cal Fire is providing updates through its Twitter account, and Santa Cruz and San Mateo counties have a real-time evacuation map. We will continue updating this page as we learn more.
If you are not directly affected, you can help by making a donation to the Northern California Red Cross.
Our CCOF family of producers, retailers, restaurants, inspectors, and partners are in our hearts and minds. For all those in the fire regions, stay safe.
