Background List of California wildfires The timing of "fire season" in California is variable, depending on the amount of prior winter and spring precipitation, the frequency and severity of weather such as heat waves and wind events, and moisture content in vegetation. Northern California typically sees wildfire activity between late spring and early fall, peaking in the summer with hotter and drier conditions. Occasional cold frontal passages can bring wind and lightning. The timing of fire season in Southern California is similar, peaking between late spring and fall. The severity and duration of peak activity in either part of the state is modulated in part by weather events: downslope/offshore wind events can lead to critical fire weather, while onshore flow and Pacific weather systems can bring conditions that hamper wildfire growth.Weather: Fire Season Climatology (Northern California) https://www.nwcg.gov/publications/pms437/weather/fire-season-climatology#TOC-Northern-California June 25, 2024 National Wildfire Coordinating Group April 25, 2024 May 13, 2021 https://web.archive.org/web/20210513095421/https://www.nwcg.gov/publications/pms437/weather/fire-season-climatology#TOC-Northern-California liveToohey Grace June 22, 2024 California wildfires have already burned 90,000 acres, and summer is just beginning https://www.latimes.com/environment/story/2024-06-22/spring-wildfire-sees-a-boom-concerning-for-rest-of-year June 25, 2024 Los Angeles Times June 25, 2024 https://web.archive.org/web/20240625010426/https://www.latimes.com/environment/story/2024-06-22/spring-wildfire-sees-a-boom-concerning-for-rest-of-year live List of Wildfires Below is a list of all fires that exceeded 1000 acre during the 2013 fire season.Large Fires 2013 http://cdfdata.fire.ca.gov/pub/cdf/images/incidentstatsevents_250.pdf CAL FIRE 3 September 2014 5 August 2015 10 September 2015 https://web.archive.org/web/20150910201400/http://cdfdata.fire.ca.gov/pub/cdf/images/incidentstatsevents_250.pdf dead The list is taken from CAL FIRE's list of large fires. Name County Acres Km2 Start date Contained DateContainment means that fire crews have established and secured control lines around the fire's perimeter. These lines are artificial barriers, like trenches or cleared vegetation, designed to stop the fire's spread, or natural barriers like rivers. Containment reflects progress in managing the fire but does not necessarily mean the fire is starved of fuel, under control, or put out.KCAL-TV Los Angeles What containment and other wildfire related terms mean September 12, 2024 https://www.cbsnews.com/losangeles/news/what-does-containment-mean-wildfire-evacuation-warning-order-red-flag/ 2025-07-25 NotesPanther Tehama 6,896 acres km2 1 tablecen May 1, 2013 May 9, 2013 Summit Riverside 3,161 acres km2 1 tablecen May 1, 2013 May 4, 2013 1 structure destroyedSprings Ventura 24,251 acres km2 1 tablecen May 2, 2013 May 9, 2013 Grand Kern 4,346 acres km2 1 tablecen May 15, 2013 May 22, 2013 San Felipe San Diego 2,650 acres km2 1 tablecen May 23, 2013 May 29, 2013 General San Diego 2,500 acres km2 1 tablecen May 26, 2013 May 31, 2013 White Santa Barbara 1,984 acres km2 1 tablecen May 27, 2013 June 5, 2013 Powerhouse Los Angeles 30,274 acres km2 1 tablecen May 30, 2013 June 10, 2013 58 structures destroyed Hathaway Riverside 3,870 acres km2 1 tablecen June 9, 2013 October 15, 2013 Carstens Mariposa 1,708 acres km2 1 tablecen June 16, 2013 June 26, 2013 Chariot San Diego 7,055 acres km2 1 tablecen July 6, 2013 July 15, 2013 149 structures destroyedMountain Riverside 27,531 acres km2 1 tablecen July 15, 2013 July 31, 2013 Aspen Fresno 22,992 acres km2 1 tablecen July 22, 2013 September 8, 2013 Forks Complex Siskiyou 37,246 acres km2 1 tablecen July 31, 2013 October 1, 2013 Salmon River Complex Siskiyou 14,754 acres km2 1 tablecen July 31, 2013 August 31, 2013 Falls Riverside 1,383 acres km2 1 tablecen August 5, 2013 August 9, 2013 Power Tuolumne 1,070 acres km2 1 tablecen August 5, 2013 August 13, 2013 Silver Riverside 20,292 acres km2 1 tablecen August 7, 2013 August 12, 2013 Corral Complex Humboldt 12,503 acres km2 1 tablecen August 10, 2013 2 October 2013 American Placer 22,407 acres km2 1 tablecen August 11, 2013 August 29, 2013 Swedes Butte 2,264 acres km2 1 tablecen August 16, 2013 August 22, 2013 Rim Tuolumne 257,314 acres km2 1 tablecen August 17, 2013 October 27, 2013 112 structures destroyedMission Monterey 4,500 acres km2 1 tablecen August 22, 2013 August 25, 2013 Deer Tehama 11,429 acres km2 1 tablecen August 23, 2013 August 29, 2013 Fish Tulare 2,060 acres km2 1 tablecen August 23, 2013 September 5, 2013 Morgan Contra Costa 3,100 acres km2 1 tablecen September 8, 2013 September 14, 2013 Ignited at Mount Diablo.Clover Shasta 8,073 acres km2 1 tablecen September 9, 2013 September 15, 2013 196 structures destroyed, 1 fatalityDeLuz San Diego 2,236 acres km2 1 tablecen October 5, 2013 October 9, 2013 McCabe Sonoma 3,505 acres km2 1 tablecen November 22, 2013 November 28, 2013 See also List of California wildfires Climate change in California Notes References External links Photos of the fire at weather.com https://web.archive.org/web/20130507061345/http://www.weather.com/news/cali-fire-photos-20130503 2013-05-07 Current Fire Information https://web.archive.org/web/20110220230721/http://cdfdata.fire.ca.gov/incidents/incidents_current 2011-02-20 .
