Summary
Description1990- Most destructive California wildfires.svg
English: Chart showing timing and acreage burned by California's 20 most destructive wildfires as measured by structures burned, with vertical axis showing acres burned
Chart should be periodically updated because of ongoing January 2025 wildfires. "Structures destroyed" data for 2025 changes significantly, week by week.
Source states: " "Structures" include homes, outbuildings (barns, garages, sheds, etc) and commercial properties destroyed. This list does not include fire jurisdiction. These are the Top 20 regardless of whether they were state, federal, or local responsibility. • Numbers not final. • DINS Disclaimer: These numbers are preliminary based on aerial assessments dedicating heat sources which can include chicken coops, outbuildings, sheds, water containers, 5th wheel, etc. • Validated inspections are currently being ground-verified by Damage Assessment Teams. • 1/10/2025"
