July 22, 2019 - CAL FIRE: Current Year Statistics as of July 21, 2019; 

The below statistics are tracked on a weekly basis and provide a snapshot of the number of fires and acres burned. These are preliminary numbers taken from our Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) system, and will likely change as dispatched wildfires may end up being other types of fires or false alarms. These numbers are subject to change until the final fire season reports are completed and tabulated.

Number of Fires and Acres:

Interval	Fires	Acres
January 1, 2019 through July 21, 2019	2,527	21,400
January 1, 2018 through July 21, 2018	3,295	153,338
5-Year Average (same interval)	3,172	98,874
2019 Combined YTD (CALFIRE & US Forest Service)	2,948	28,435

(Statistics include all wildfires responded to by CAL FIRE in both the State Responsibility Area, as well as the Local Responsibility Area under contract with the department. Statistics may not include wildfires in State Responsibility Area protected by CAL FIRE’s contract counties. Final numbers will be provided in the annual Wildfire Activity Statistics Report (Redbook) once it’s published.)
