Wragg Fire Reignites, Prompts New Mandatory Evacuations & Road Closures

SOLANO COUNTY (CBS SF) -- There has been a flare-up of the Wragg Fire in Solano County that has prompted new mandatory evacuations and road closures Tuesday afternoon, a Cal Fire spokeswoman said.

About 30 acres on the east side of the fire near Vacaville re-ignited around 1:30 p.m., Cal Fire spokeswoman Suzie Blankenship said.

The flare-up occurred in a steep canyon with difficult access, Blankenship said. Sky Ranch, Gates Canyon and Mix Canyon roads are closed, and Pleasants Valley Road is closed between Putah Creek and Mix Canyon roads, she said.
