SANTA CRUZ, Calif. (KION)--Officials are asked people who live in Monterey, Santa Cruz and Santa Clara counties to be aware that animals are fleeing the fires and they may show up in neighborhoods and yards.

Native Animal Rescue of Santa Cruz is urging people to bring domestic animals in at night and to let the wild ones pass through.

You're asked to put out buckets of water for them—they are scared, exhausted, and have lost their homes—they need to rest and refuel.
