The Wragg Fire was a wildland fire that started just off California State Route 128 near Lake Berryessa in Napa County, California in the United States. The fire started on July 22, 2015.[1] The cause was an idling vehicle's car exhaust. The vehicle came into contact with dry grass and sparked the fire.[2] Mandatory evacuations for 136 homes and 200 residents took place. Six roads were closed temporarily as a result.[1]
