Suisun City 3-alarm fire spreads to multiple buildings amid strong winds

By Cecilio Padilla

A total of eight families have been displaced after a wind-swept fire damaged multiple buildings in Suisun City early Thursday morning, fire officials said.

Suisun City firefighters responded near School and Sacramento streets and found several structures burning, with other nearby buildings threatened.

Fire officials said strong winds contributed to the flames spreading rapidly to additional structures. The size and complexity of the fire prompted crews to call for a three-alarm response.

Firefighters worked for more than an hour to contain the blaze and prevent it from spreading farther.

In total, the fire damaged three multi-family units. Eight families have been displaced, firefighters said, and the American Red Cross is helping support them. 

Crews from Fairfield, Benicia, Vacaville, Vallejo and Travis Air Force Base assisted Suisun City firefighters. Suisun City police also responded.

Firefighters remained at the scene Thursday morning conducting overhaul work and assisting with the investigation.

Officials have not released details about what started the fire, the extent of the damage or whether anyone was injured.
