Fairfield Fire Department

This morning, Fairfield Fire crews on A Shift with our neighbors and partners at Suisun City Fire, trained on drafting and porta-pump from the Suisun City Maina to our wildland apparatus. This training is vital to prepare the crews should we not have a fire hydrant near by.

Earlier this afternoon, Fairfield Fire Department Engine 39 responded to a reported vehicle fire at Pick-N-Pull.

Upon arrival, crews found multiple vehicles fully involved in fire. Strong winds quickly carried burning embers over a nearby wall, igniting a fast-moving vegetation fire.

The Fairfield CA Police Department Drone Team quickly launched a drone and was able to confirm to firefighters that the fire had spread into the adjacent field, providing critical situational awareness as crews began their attack.

The fire ultimately burned approximately 56 acres and escalated to a 3rd Alarm, bringing in firefighting resources from across the county to assist with containment.

Thanks to the coordinated efforts of Fairfield Fire personnel, the Fairfield Police Department, and our regional mutual aid partners, the fire was brought under control and prevented from causing even greater damage.

We appreciate the teamwork and rapid response of everyone involved in protecting our community.

Fairfield Fire units are currently on scene of a first alarm residential fire on the 1100 block of Quail Dr. The fire appears to have started on the exterior and extended into the attic of the home. The fire is under control but Quail Dr. is closed. The fire is currently under investigation.
