- This is a partial and incomplete list of California wildfires. California has dry, windy, and often hot weather conditions from spring through late autumn that can produce moderate to severe wildfires. Pre-1800, when the area was much more forested and the ecology much more resilient, 4.4 million acres (1.8 million hectares) of forest and shrubland burned annually. California land area totals 99,813,760 or roughly 100 million acres, so since 2000, the area that burned annually has ranged between 90,000 acres, or 0.09%, and 1,590,000 acres, or 1.59% of the total land of California. During the 2020 wildfire season alone, over 8,100 fires contributed to the burning of nearly 4.5 million acres of land. Wildfires in California are growing more dangerous because of the accumulation of wood fuel in forests, higher population and greater electricity transmission and distribution lines. United States taxpayers pay about US$3 billion a year to fight wildfires, and big fires can lead to billions of dollars in property losses. At times, these wildfires are fanned or made worse by strong, dry winds, known as Diablo winds when they occur in the northern part of the state and Santa Ana winds when they occur in the south. However, from a historical perspective, it has been estimated that prior to 1850, about 4.5 million acres (17,000 km²) burned yearly, in fires that lasted for months, with wildfire activity peaking roughly every 30 years, when up to 11.8 million acres (47,753 km³) of land burned. The much larger wildfire seasons in the past can be attributed to the policy of Native Californians regularly setting controlled burns and allowing natural fires to run their course, which prevented devastating wildfires from overrunning the state. More than 350,000 people in California live in towns sited completely within zones deemed to be at very high risk of fire. In total, more than 2.7 million people live in "very high fire hazard severity zones", which also include areas at lesser risk. The four most common ignition sources of large California wildfires since 1980 have been equipment generating sparks (chainsaws, grinders, mowers, etc.), overhead power lines, arsonists, and lightning.

- La California d'estate ha un clima particolarmente caldo e secco, che spesso provoca vasti incendi, che sono spesso aggravati da forti venti secchi, conosciuti come nella parte settentrionale e dai a sud. Questi incendi, che si propagano principalmente nelle foreste e nelle riserve, possono provocare decine di morti durando anche diversi mesi e arrivando a minacciare i centri abitati più vicini. Le contee californiane più colpite risultano essere Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino e Los Angeles. L'incendio Carr nel 2018 Le cause sono normalmente imputabili a malfunzionamenti tecnici o temporali, tuttavia non mancano segni di dolo in diverse occasioni, che addizionati al clima arido estivo californiano possono risultare in vasti e pericolosi incendi. Attualmente l'incendio più letale è stato il Tubbs, nel 2017 (43 morti), mentre il Rush, nel 2012, è stato il più esteso (1 280 Km²). Gli incendi vengono spenti dai pompieri del CAL Fire (California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection) che sono spesso affiancati dai colleghi provenienti da altri stati americani. Normalmente gli incendi rimangono nel territorio della California, tuttavia il Rush, nel 2012, è arrivato nella contea di Washoe, nello stato del Nevada. (it)
