Lets work together to stay out of the purple tier! Solano Public Health has submitted an appeal to the state to keep us in the red tier but we have received notice from CDPH that Solano County is at risk of moving back to purple as early as November 10th. This would force some indoor business operations and activities to close or reduce capacity. #TogetherWeCan #KeepSolanoOpen

Northern Solano County is included in the Critical Fire Weather Watch through Wednesday morning, 10/21/20.

Solano County OES Volunteers Conduct Search in Delta Waters On Tuesday, October 6th, a Sacramento driver and their vehicle went missing in the Delta. A location was identified where a vehicle had entered the Sutter Slough near the intersection of Oxford and Holland Roads. The Suisun City Fire Department Dive Team and Courtland Fire Department conducted an unsuccessful search of the area near the entry point on Friday, October 9th. The following Saturday, October 10th, Sol...ano County OES volunteers arrived on scene with M-90, a landing craft/dive platform with sophisticated sonar equipment and operators. The vehicle’s location was pinpointed using side scan sonar twenty feet from the entry point in fifteen feet of water. On Sunday, the Marine Vessel Operators Group returned to the site with the Solano County Sheriff’s Office Dive Team to recover the vehicle. Within a minute of entering the water, the diver found the vehicle and quickly confirmed the license plate matched the missing vehicle report. It is with a heavy heart to say that the driver was found inside. Out of respect, the victim's identity will remain anonymous until the family has been contacted. The team was able to successfully connect tow cables and where able to remove the victim and the vehicle from the Slough. The 11-hour operation was conducted by volunteers with the Solano County OES and led by Sheriff’s Sergeant Walt Walker. Our heart goes out to the victim's family, and we give thanks to the volunteers for giving up their weekend to provide closure to this tragic accident.
