Solano County Superior Court Clerk offices shut down at noon Wednesday, and all civil, probate and family law cases slated for today and Friday will be rescheduled, with fire advisories and poor air quality from the North Bay wildfires prompting the shutdown.

 

Parties will be notified of their new date by the court, the Solano County Superior Court announced in a Wednesday press release.

 

All Criminal and Juvenile Departments in Fairfield and Vallejo will remain open, however, with no changes being made to the calendar, the press release clarified. Furthermore, drop boxes in Fairfield and Vallejo courts will be available at court locations.

The press release added that the string of recent wildfires has resulted in the Solano County Sheriff’s Office reducing the number of bailiffs at the courts. All jurors are asked to check the Solano County court’s website or telephone, as listed on their jury summons.

 

The Atlas Fire, which has forced mandatory evacuations of Fairfield’s Green Valley neighborhood, has burned more than 42,000 acres in Napa and Solano counties as of 3 p.m. Wednesday, with only 3 percent containment, according to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection.
