Residents of the Eastridge community in southwest Fairfield who were urged Wednesday afternoon to leave their homes were initially directed to theAllan Witt Park Sports Complex on West Texas Street. That facility, however, was not taking in new evacuees.
Police Chief Randy Fenn said the site at Allan Witt was previously committed to evacuees from other fire locations. He said the city was working with officials from the Fairfield-Suisun School District to potentially establish additional evacuation sites, and to staff those sites.
