CHP officers in Santa Cruz closed SR-9 late Saturday night to a fire that was moving through the Santa Cruz mountains and continued into the daytime Sunday.

A fire in the Santa Cruz Mountains continues to burn Sunday, spreading slowly through tinder-dry timber and growing to 25 acres, according to Cal Fire, while a separate vegetation is rapidly becoming more important.

The Rincon Fire, which ignited Saturday night at the Paradise Park neighborhood northeast of the UC Santa Cruz campus, was 30 percent contained in Sunday afternoon, said Scott McLean, a Cal Fire spokesman, who was 6 acres.

The fire was burning in heavy timber between Highway 9 and the San Lorenzo River, he said. High winds had dropped to 15 percent, he said.

The smoke and flames closed Highway 9 from its junction with Highway 1 to Glengarry Road about 4 miles north of Santa Cruz, according to Caltrans.

Nader Oweis, Chief of Police at UCSC, issued a statement that the Paradise Park neighborhood was evacuated as a precaution. He said the fire posed no danger to the campus or its students but said it has created smoky conditions on campus. He said firefighters may be using campus fire roads to gain access to the rugged area.

A separate vegetation fire broke out in Scotts Valley on Sunday, Cal Fire officials said. Firefighters remained on the scene to make sure the blaze did not reignite.

A red-flag warning for extreme fire conditions, particularly in the North Bay and East Bay hills, was lifted early Sunday morning as high winds died down. High winds, combined with low relative humidity and dry vegetation, can cause small fires to quickly spread into major conflagrations.
