[belleh5]

Late Thursday afternoon Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger declared the Santa Cruz Mountain fire zone a state of emergency.

The wildfire has burned at least 3,200 acres near Mount Madonna County Park about 10 miles west of Gilroy as of 6 p.m. Thursday. That is an area that covers 4.6 square miles. Authorities said early Thursday evening that the fire was 15 percent contained. That was the first containment report of the day.

Tim's parents live in Morgan Hill, which is really close to the fire. They haven't evacuated yet.
