The swaths of Solano County evacuated over the past few days were smoky and desolate as officials warned of an imminent wave of gusty winds coming Wednesday.

Officials in Solano County ordered mandatory evacuations as flames encroached Suisun Valley road near the Napa County line Tuesday night. Early Wednesday, the Atlas Fire had spread into Green Valley, about three miles from city limits near the Eastridge and Rancho Solano neighborhoods. Residents in those neighborhoods were put on notice and told to prepare to leave on short notice.

By Wednesday afternoon, the threat of the fire — along with a push of “volatile and gusty” winds — caused authorities to issue an “advisory evacuation order” for the Eastridge Development in the southwest portion of Fairfield, encouraging locals to leave their homes.

In Fairfield, Suisun Valley and Green Valley roads — lined with vineyards and homes — were closed to the public and thick with smoke.

At the makeshift evacuation center at the Solano Community College — which was overflowing with supplies such as water, diapers and clothes — all evacuees could do was wait.

“It looks like we’ll be here for a while,” said Tim Buchanan, a 52-year-old resident of Wooden Valley, who was evacuated Monday. “The fires are having a time.”

Near Wooden Valley Road in Solano County, an area where acres of land burned to a crisp Tuesday night, David Capp drove an ATV around his vineyard to survey the damage.

“These are a complete loss,” he said, as he stopped his truck to point out vines with crumpled leaves.

Capp, who runs Capp Heritage Vineyard with his family, said those vines once held the promise of “A grade” Cabernet and Merlot. But now, he said, he’ll have to yank them out of the ground, plant new vines and wait at least five years for it to grow all over again.

Around his property, hot spots were still smoking on the ground, damaging grapes tstill on the vines.

“I was expecting worse,” he said, before adding that “the quality is gonna be lost on the year’s harvest.”
