VEGETATION FIRE 10/11/2021 @ 4:03PM River Delta Fire District along with multiple mutual aid resources from Sacramento, Solano Counties and CalFire responded to a vegetation fire that rapidly moved into a residential area. The fire started near Rancho Marina RV Park along Brannan Island Road around 4 p.m. Due to strong winds and low humidity the fire rapidly spread into structures within the park making firefighting efforts extremely difficult. Approximately 30 structures were destroyed. Firefighters were able to save about twenty structures. Aircraft from CalFire were used to help extinguish areas of the fire that were difficult fire firefighters to access. No injuries have been reported, and the cause remains under investigation. Marinas and residents downwind of the fire have been evacuated as the firefighting efforts continue throughout the night. Several residents of the mobile home park have been displaced. #OurCommunityOurPriority #OurCommunityBeforeOurselves #volunteerfirefighter #YourLifeOurMission

Devestating. At least 30 homes destroyed at the Rancho Marina RV park off Brannan Island Road in Sac County. River Delta Fire District says roughly 25 more homes threatened as fire is 30% contained. Winds continue to hamper fire fighting efforts. It’ll be a long night. @ABC10 pic.twitter.com/45H0RtWKqo

A fire tore through Rancho Marina RV Park in Isleton yesterday afternoon and is still burning this morning. No injuries but 30 structures were lost. While reporting on it I met James, one of the residents just coming back in to see if his home had made it. It did not. (1/3) pic.twitter.com/EobMRJo5MU

Big fire burning in the #SacDelta, looks like Brannan Island. At least 3 attack aircraft working it. Anyone know what’s burning? This is looking east from Owl Harbor Marina. #cafire pic.twitter.com/J9DSd5eWWJ

This mobile home park is in Brannan Island- the winds whipped up this fire well into the evening hours. Neighbors took garden hoses to the fire, getting as close as they could before fire crews told them it was too dangerous: @CBSSacramento pic.twitter.com/noPc1yct8F
