The fire is burning in a rural area between Vacaville and Winters.
SOLANO COUNTY, CA — A grass fire in rural Solano County between Vacaville and Winters is, as of 8 p.m. Saturday, up to about 600 acres with zero percent containment, firefighters said.
More than 100 structures are threatened by the fast-moving Quail Fire, which appears to have started near Quail Canyon and Pleasants Valley Road southwest of Winters Saturday afternoon, according to Cal Fire. Low humidity and high winds have helped the fire spread quickly.
Evacuations are in place for people living or working on Quail Canyon Road from Pleasants Valley Road to state Highway 128, and in the Olive School Road areas. Pleasants Valley Road is closed in the area.
