(12:40) SANTA CRUZ- Several vegetation fires were extinguished behind the Simpkin Swim Center and Twin Lakes state beach last week. Fire crews responded to three fires in three days, with the last one taking place about 6 p.m. on Thursday. Officials say that juveniles igniting fireworks were seen near one of the blazes. Fireworks are thought to play a role in the other two fires as well.
