Quail Fire 90% Contained, Structures Still Threatened

SOLANO COUNTY, CA — The Quail Fire, which has destroyed three structures in rural Solano County, was 90-percent contained Tuesday evening — up from 75-percent containment late Monday, officials with the Cal Fire Sonoma-Lake-Napa Unit said.

The wildfire started Saturday afternoon in the 8000 block of Quail Canyon Road in an unincorporated county area between Vacaville and Winters.

One-hundred structures were still threatened Tuesday night by the 1,837-acre fire.

Evacuations and road closures have been lifted, but Cal Fire did not say in an incident summary when firefighters expect to have the fire fully contained.

Two-hundred fire personnel were still assigned to the fire Monday night. Cooperating agencies have included: Vacaville City Fire Department, Vacaville Fire Protection District, the Dixon, Suisun City, Vallejo, Fairfield and Winters fire departments, the Cordelia, Montezuma and Madison fire districts, the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation Vacaville, and strike teams from Contra Costa, Marin and San Francisco counties.

Additionally, numerous firefighting air tankers are flying fire suppression missions as conditions allow.

The cause remained under investigation.
