About California Wildfire Season

California's fire season splits by geography. Northern California typically runs from late spring into early fall, peaking in the hot, dry summer months, while Southern California's season covers a similar span but stays sensitive to how much rain fell the previous winter and spring. Chaparral, dry grass, and timber cover steep slopes and canyons that can accelerate a fire's spread dramatically once it starts moving uphill. The most dangerous fires here often arrive outside that core summer window entirely, driven by offshore, downslope wind events, the Diablo winds in the north and the Santa Ana winds in the south, which have produced some of the fastest moving and most destructive fires in state history.

  • Wildfire incident markers. Every active fire in California is shown with a colored marker. Red means active, yellow means mostly contained, and gray means fully contained or no longer being tracked.
  • Incident details and updates. Tap any fire below to see its size, containment percentage, recent updates, and nearby air quality on its own page.
  • Automatic updates. This page pulls directly from official incident data and refreshes automatically as conditions change. It is not a live, real time map, and fast moving fires can outpace how often this page updates.
