State work continues in LNU fire debris removal program
FAIRFIELD The state reports that five Solano County properties in the LNU Lightning Complex Fire area – and were enrolled in the public debris removal program – have been cleared for reconstruction.
Those five properties will have to get county permits, the fees for which have been reduced by 30% for building and infrastructure permits.
Six properties have been signed off on by officials with the Consolidated Debris Removal Program, according to Greg Renick with the state Office of Emergency Services.
Emergency services officials warn fire area residents that they could be disqualified from the state debris removal program if they do any debris removal on their own once the state contractors have started the work.
The second and final round of collection in the City of Norman’s storm debris removal effort for the Oct. 26-29 ice storm will be completed on Friday, Jan. 29.

Supervisor John Vasquez
VACAVILLE Solano County Supervisor John Vasquez announced Thursday that the report on fire victims’ comments during a series of “listening sessions” is out and will be presented Tuesday at the Board of Supervisors meeting.
“The stories we heard were incredibly impactful and encompassed a wide range of unique perspectives from those that were forced from their homes on Aug. 18,” Vasquez wrote. “Comments received fell into four broad categories: The Night of the Fire; Re-population and Re-entry; Recovery and Rebuilding Efforts; and Preparing for the Next Disaster.”
There were listening sessions organized by Yolo County Supervisor Don Saylor and Winters Mayor Wade Cowan, followed by sessions Vasquez initiated.
