How this tracker works

This page pulls the official CAL FIRE incident feed (fire.ca.gov) at every build and shows every active wildfire, with Kern County called out first. Data comes from the state’s own public API — not from us — so acres, containment, and status are exactly what CAL FIRE reports.

Important: CAL FIRE covers state and federal wildland fires; it does not list every structure fire or medical call (Kern County Fire’s dispatch is separate). For evacuation orders and preparedness, see ReadyKern and fire.ca.gov.

Data: © CAL FIRE / fire.ca.gov public incident feed. Fire perimeters and status update continuously; this page rebuilds every few hours.

How this tracker works: Each update pulls the official public source, compares it with the previous copy to spot what changed, and rebuilds this page from it.
