California Wildfires & Fire Map

The U.S. government is tracking 64 wildfires in California today. Together they cover about 39K acres (roughly 30,000 football fields), spread across the state. Only 5 are large (1,000+ acres); the rest are small or brand-new. "Tracked" means officials are watching them, not that they're out of control. Here's where they stand:

fully contained
(lined all the way around)

partly contained
(crews still on the edge)

too new to rate
(mostly small & new)

“Contained” is how much of a fire's edge crews have boxed in. 100% means they have a line all the way around it. A fire at 0% is usually new or still being sized up, not out of control. Biggest first — tap any fire for the map, weather, and details.
