California wildfires pushed 2-1-1 call volume back near peak levels set in the first month of the COVID-19 pandemic. We examined requests to United Way 2-1-1 of Santa Cruz County to assess the impact of the CZU Lightning Complex fire that burned over 86,000 acres in Santa Cruz and San Mateo counties between August 16 and September 22, 2020.
