Evacuations are in place for swaths of Vacaville, California, as the LNU Lightning Complex wildfires continue to burn through more than 32,000 acres.
Three structures have been destroyed, all by the Hennessey Fire, which has burned some 10,000 acres. The Gamble Fire has burned the same amount of acres, followed by the 15-10 fire, which is the third-largest at 8,000 acres.
The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection doesn't have an estimated date for when the fire could be contained and multiple evacuation centers were established. In Vacaville, residents forced to evacuate could find refuge at the Ulatis Community Center and McBride Community Center, according to KGO-TV, and large animals can be taken to the Solano County Fairgrounds in Vallejo. Smaller animals were welcome at the Solano County animal shelter on Claybank Road.
This is what we just experienced on Pleasants Valley Rd & Pleasant Hills Ranch Way. This fire is moving so fast! It seems like most people were forced to evacuate in minutes with little more than the clothes they wore to bed.
