The SCU Lightning Complex Fire, which stretches across parts of Santa Clara, Alameda, Contra Costa, San Joaquin and Stanislaus counties, has grown to 157,475 acres, Cal Fire announced Thursday evening.
Firefighters have established 5% containment against the fire.
There are about 20 fires in this group that are divided into three zones, the Canyon Zone, the Calaveras Zone, and the Deer Zone.
"The fires continue to burn in steep, rugged terrain and are influenced by extreme temperatures, and low relative humidity," Cal Fire said.
