On August 31st, traffic was still slowing on I-80 in Fairfield, CA, in order to gape at where six homes burned down on the 27th from a
fire that spread from the freeway:
The fire started a little before 4 p.m. in vegetation adjacent to the freeway before jumping a nearby creek and skirting a cinderblock sound wall, Velasquez said. The inferno hit a wood-framed roof before moving into the trees and through the neighborhood via the treetops, he said.
