SCU Lightning Complex Fire, August 2020

News about how SCU Lightning Complex Fire is affecting us here in Milpitas, California.

Evacuation Map
Closeup of Evacuation Map as of 8/20 8:30AM

Mandatory evacuation area seems to include Whispering Hills Ranch and other horse ranches in the hills, Silva’s apricot orchard, Kim Parker’s Last Word Ranch, and possibly both adobe houses. GoMilpitas is located at the blob I hastily drew in the corner of Yosemite and Piedmont roads, safe for now, but smoky. Bill Hare, who produces world famous a cappella mixes from his home up at Calaveras and Felter roads, is also being evacuated. On his property is the historic Laguna one-room school, the first in Milpitas. Larger area map here.

Evacuation Resource Center for Santa Clara County Residents Available at Milpitas Library
An evacuation resource center at the Milpitas Library is available for residents of Santa Clara County who have been ordered to leave their homes because of the threat from the SCU Lightning Complex fire, which is growing and remains largely uncontained.

The resource center will be staffed by the American Red Cross and serve to assess the needs of individuals and families impacted by the evacuations and determine appropriate resources. It is not a shelter but serves to assist residents with temporary relocation.

All residents under an evacuation order are urged to take rapid action and leave the area immediately ahead of the fast-moving and unpredictable wildfire.

Evacuation Resources in several languages from the Santa Clara OEM

PRESS RELEASE: ASSEMBLYMEMBER KANSEN CHU’S UPDATED STATEMENT REGARDING WORLD JOURNAL ARTICLE

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

June 16, 2020

CONTACT: Annie Pham (916) 319-2025

Kansen Chu

KANSEN CHU’S UPDATED STATEMENT REGARDING WORLD JOURNAL ARTICLE: Correction Article by the News Outlet Published Today

(SACRAMENTO, CA) – As a lifetime member of the NAACP, an immigrant, and a strong and consistent supporter of communities of color, I fully acknowledge and understand the systemic racism that people of color face then and now.

Recently, there was an English translated document of an article in the World Journal, which was originally written in Chinese, suggesting that I made negative comments related to ACA 5. The article was written with the reporter’s own opinion and not direct or literal quotes from me. World Journal has since published an article clearly stating that I did not make those remarks.

I unequivocally deny saying that Latinos do not value education — especially as a public servant who has a track record of supporting diversity, and human and civil rights. Specifically, I said that there exists deep institutional barriers for Latino and African American students. What was not said in the World Journal was that I said the solution would be more funding for schools serving our underserved communities.

My record on supporting educational funding and progressive policies in support of the advancement of people of color has and will always be strong and consistent. As founder and Chair of the Assembly Select Committee on Hate Crimes, I have worked with civil rights groups to change policies to help better report, respond, and prosecute hate crimes. I spearheaded a thorough audit of current practices by law enforcement and subsequent policy changes.

As a member of the California Legislature Progressive Caucus, I have authored/co-authored and voted for ALL progressive policies such as seats at the table for civil rights group to influence reforms, sanctuary state, justice reforms (i.e. stricter use of force standards, training on de-escalation, removal of sentence enhancement, and promoting rehabilitation), free college, environmental justice, funding for immigrants, stopping ICE from tearing families apart, better training on hate crimes for peace officers, and many more. During COVID-19 pandemic, I have been vocal about supporting minority groups that are disproportionately impacted. When I heard of the number of deaths and infections due to COVID-19 in East San Jose, an area with majority being  people of color, I submitted a funding request for SOMOS Mayfair to do translated and culturally appropriate outreach for testing. I also reached out to many groups offering protective equipment such as masks and provided 5000 masks to farm workers.

The translated version in English did not accurately reflect what was written in Chinese in addition to attributing quotes that did not come from my mouth. I strongly believe that many underserved communities in my district will continue to have barriers to college unless we make higher education more affordable for all.

My decades-long commitment to our community remains steadfast and unwavering, and I look forward to continue working to improve the lives of everyone I serve.

Great Mall was looted May 31, 2020

Great Mall was looted last night. from r/SanJose


Last Call Neiman Marcus Outlet Store Looted Saturday night, May 31, 2020
This evening at about 7:30 PM, Milpitas Police Department Officers responded to a burglary alarm at Nieman Marcus, located at the Great Mall. Officers arrived quickly and encountered a large group of people running from the store. It was estimated that there were approximately 100 people and 50 cars involved in this coordinated burglary of Neiman Marcus. As additional officers arrived at the location, numerous vehicles sped away. The quick response of our Officers likely prevented additional businesses from being victimized. More information.

I spoke with Police Chief Corpus. The looting was unrelated to any of the demonstrations. This gang organized in social media, and came in a caravan to Milpitas. One car was seized, full of Neiman Marcus products, and it was from outside our county. The department is prepping for any repeat of such an attack.

Fire at Recycling Center May 25, 2020

Crews Contain Fire at South Bay Recycling Facility

Will leave story here for a few more hours, but not updating any longer. Story was updated continuously during the episode, by Ann Zeise, GoMilpitas.com

Crews are battling a fire that broke out around 1 p.m, May 25, 2020, in Milpitas. The Fire Department is on the scene at the 1600 block of Dixon Landing Rd at the Republic Services Newby Island Landfill. The cause of the fire is still unknown.

Listening to emergency crew from San Jose, Milpitas and Fremont.

Pressure on fire hydrant just went out for two trucks. Underground water main appears broken. Closest plug is about 2000′ up in Fremont. Water company has been called. Fremont Blvd. will be closed to accommodate fire hoses. Fire could take off again until water can once again be supplied.

Water tenders have arrived, and keeping fire from moving north into Fremont. Truck 29 moving in closer. Milpitas Fire 87 and 88 are both on the scene. Division Alpha pumping. Drafting water out of local ponds as well. See map. Water is NOT a city issue. Water main failure was with the Newbie Island water system.

[Possible Covid-19 emergency also being reported for other emergency crews to resolve.]

Knocking down burning debris with a front loader. Rotating crews into cooling station in a nearby barn. 125 psi only, too low pressure for effective fire fighting. Distance water has to go is a problem.

Starting to make real progress now (3:15). Plans being made for reinforcement, mop up. Fremont Engine 61 released to go home. Engine 23 released. Engine 21 with water tender awhile longer. Milpitas Engine 86 released. Truck 86 released, too.

Fire pushing to the west. Checking on extension. Firefighters said large compressed bales of trash — mostly paper products — caught fire at the facility. An official cause of the fire is under investigation.

One pile flaring up. Stick may be able to reach it. Flaring up near cyclone fence. Traffic on Fremont Blvd still be stopped. Go another way! 880 is not being shutdown.

At this point ensuring all hotspots are out. San Jose has 4 engines and trucks. Milpitas still also has one engine on scene. Fremont 16 only one left at scene from Fremont. Plan is to shut down in 5 minutes, by 4:05 PM. Engine 25 and 29 shutting down. Working on cutting down hydrant up in Fremont, and reclaiming the firehose. When down, Fremont Blvd will open up again.

The fire is currently burning in Ed Levin County Park. It is burning in a southeasterly direction toward Weller Road. It has transitioned from grass into heavier brush in a very steep drainage, and is currently threatening the Mt. Allison communications site.

Due to moderation of weather last night, fire behavior diminished and firefighters made good progress.

Santa Clara County Wildfire Incidents
#CountryFire expected to reach 500 acres and reach Weller Road above Calaveras Reservoir. IC, type 3 engine strike teams being placed on Weller Rd on the eastern side of the hill. Temps in the 80s, wind generally out of the west southwest at 10-25 mph pushing most of the smoke from the #CountryFire to the east-northeast and away from the Santa Clara Valley for now. Country Air Attack advising Country IC that the fire will eventually bump Weller Road.

Live video here on CBS. You can see Ed Levin Park, and the pond near the dog park in this video.

Do not consider golfing, riding your horse, walking your dog, or hang gliding until this fire is out and the smoke has cleared.

General area, but up in the hills.
