The numbers on this page will be updated weekly. CAL FIRE's fire season generally runs from Mid-May through November. CAL FIRE Units in the south end of the state will usually open fire season before those in the central and northern state due to earlier warm, dry weather patterns.

Number of fires and acres:

Interval Fires Acres
January 1, 2010 through January 31, 2010 54 24
January 1, 2009 through January 31, 2009 92 253
5 year average (same interval) 161 475
(All statistics are for CAL FIRE jurisdiction fires only and are subject to change until final fire season reports are completed and tabulated.)
