Firefighters said strong winds created challenges for crews."The wind's always challenging with fires," said Dennis Fogleman, deputy chief with Vacaville Fire District. Solano County is under a red flag warning due to unseasonably dry weather and strong winds. Fogleman is hoping residents in the county understand how abnormally dry it is this year. The extreme conditions already have some people on high alert."You can't burn anything," said Wayne Hogan, who lives nearby. "You can't park a hot vehicle on some tall grass."Hogan remembered last summer when the LNU Lightning Complex Fire burned close to his home. He was among the thousands forced to evacuate. Crews are working to figure out what started Sunday's grass fire.
