Wildfires occur in every month of the year, but are most prevalent in the spring and late summer.
The AFC maintains records of all wildfires that occur each year. Wildfire reports are available from 1935 to the present except for the years 1938 and 1939. The records for these years were burned in a fire. The AFC provides technical assistance to landowners and communities in the prevention, detection, detection, evaluation and suppression of forest insects and diseases.
