Firefighters are battling to contain the Cherry Fire, which has swept through 49 acres in Solano County since it sparked into action earlier today. According to a social media post from the CAL FIRE Sonoma-Lake-Napa Unit, the blaze began off Cherry Glen Extension Road, north of I-80 near Vacaville, and has been making its way uphill through light vegetation at a moderate rate of spread.
In their latest update, CAL FIRE Sonoma-Lake-Napa Unit stated, "multiple local agencies are at scene of a vegetation fire." Though the situation remains serious, there have been no immediate reports of structural threats or evacuations. The cause of the fire, which began at approximately 1:15 PM, is still under investigation, as noted on the official CAL FIRE incident page for the Cherry Fire. Combating weather conditions and terrain could prove challenging despite the firefighters' efforts.
