2024 Fire Year Outlook
Despite the current above-average snowpack and early spring storms, transitioning sea surface temperatures may lead to drier weather. Recent rainfall has temporarily reduced the risk of large fires, keeping it at average or below-average levels for the next few months.

However, with new vegetation growth, dryness may increase from mid-May to June, potentially leading to more small fires, with the chance of larger fires depending on wind conditions. While there are no immediate signs of drought or dryness, this could change as temperatures rise and conditions dry out. Additionally, the annual Southwest Monsoon season might start late, impacting lightning-related fire risk in northern California later in the year.

Fires Near Yosemite
According to the U.S. Drought Monitor, 90 percent of Mariposa and Madera counties currently face “exceptional” drought, the most severe category on the scale.
Notice the red lines of flame retardant along the eastern flank of the fire. Aircraft including a DC-10, BAe-146, and an S-2T have been observed dropping retardant in the area. Seventeen helicopters are also fighting the fire, along with thousands of firefighters on the ground, according to Cal Fire.

This wider false-color image combines shortwave infrared, near infrared, and visible light (OLI bands 6-5-4 ) to make it easier to identify the most heavily forested areas (dark green) and the recently burned landscapes. Since emerging on July 22, the Oak fire has charred more than 16,000 acres (60 square kilometers). The smaller Washburn fire burned nearly 5,000 acres (20 square kilometers).
“By recent standards, both of these ongoing fires are actually on the small side,” explained Daniel Swain, a climatologist at the University of California, Los Angeles. “Winds have been pretty weak and typical for this time of year, but the Oak fire has still managed to evade control due to extreme vegetation dryness over the long term and hot conditions in the short term.”
“The link between climate change and Western wildfire is very clear at this point,” Swain said. “Climate change is causing long-term aridification and supercharging the intensity of shorter-term droughts in this region. It is drying out vegetation well beyond historically observed levels and greatly increasing the flammability of entire landscapes. This leads to more severe fires that tend to burn hotter, spread faster, and cause more harm than lower-intensity fires.”
Intentional or “prescribed” fires have played a key role in limiting the spread of both fires this month. Yosemite National Park biologist Garrett Dickman told The Atlantic that decades of prescribed fires in Mariposa Grove have cleared out enough underbrush and small trees that the Washburn fire could not spread north into prized groves of sequoias in Yosemite. The fire instead moved east into areas that have not been burned recently.

Wildland Fires & Acres Burned In New York State

To report a forest fire call 911 immediately
Forest Ranger Emergency Contact:
1-833-NYS-RANGERS (1-833-697-7264)

Wildfires, often called forest fires, damage thousands of acres of natural resources most every year in New York. Although wildfires naturally occur from lightning, human activities are the cause of most wildfires (PDF). To protect our natural resources and communities from wildfire damage, residents, visitors, and municipal jurisdictions must contribute to wildfire prevention and fire containment.

Wildfire terms definedWildfires are unplanned or unwanted fires burning vegetation in areas where growth is minimal or non-existent.
2021 Fire Season Incident Archive | CAL FIRE
On August 18, 2021, the state of California was facing "unprecedented fire conditions" as multiple fires including the Dixie Fire, McFarland Fire, Caldor Fire, and others raged on. In October, the state of California, especially in the Northern regions where most of the fires were located, received its first rain in over 200 days reducing the wildfire risk for much of the state.
Pictured: The Dixie Fire, which began in the Feather River Canyon and burned 963k acres in July of 2021.

California Ramps Up Wildfire Prevention Work 
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW: California is scaling up work to prepare, prevent, and mitigate the threat of wildfire – investing in more projects throughout the state to help protect underserved communities and stop wildfire in its tracks.
SACRAMENTO – California continues to prepare communities against the devastating impacts of wildfires, with Governor Gavin Newsom announcing new investments today that will ramp up defenses around homes, reduce overgrown vegetation, improve evacuation routes for rural communities and more.
The $113 million in new funding, made possible by the $52 billion California Climate Commitment budget, will support 96 wildfire prevention projects across the state – with more than 8 in 10 grants directed towards vulnerable or underserved communities.
What Governor Newsom said: “These kinds of projects save lives and livelihoods, and we’re scaling it up. It was work like this that helped communities like South Lake Tahoe and Pollock Pines avert unknowable destruction. Our goal is to stop devastation before it happens – to keep Californians safe, and preserve our communities and shared history.”

An example of a wildfire prevention project supported by CAL FIRE’s Wildfire Prevention Grants Program
CAL FIRE’s Wildfire Prevention Grants Program funds programs to protect people, structures, and communities. This year’s investment adds to the 144 ongoing projects funded last year and includes hazardous fuels reduction and wildfire prevention planning and education.
Wildfires - NYSDEC
Forest ranger data indicates that this new statewide ban resulted in 46% fewer spring wildfires caused by debris burning in upstate New York from 2010-2017 when compared to the previous 8-year average. Debris burning has been prohibited in New York City and Long Island for more than 40 years.

Wildland Fire Management in New YorkNew York state is 30.9 million acres in size with 18.9 million acres of non-federal forested lands. In addition, there is an undetermined amount of open-space non-forested lands with significant wildfire potential. The wetlands of western New York State and New York City frequently burn as weather conditions allow. These fires are not only spectacular in their intensity but quite often threaten nearby homes, businesses, or improvements, thereby becoming a wildland-urban interface fire.

 

Prescribed firesNot all fires are negative events. Prescribed fire is a tool used to manage fire dependent ecosystems in a manner that develops a resilient natural balance of fire in the desired vegetation. These fires are regulated by law and regulation and require technical expertise to conduct the burns safely.Support to New YorkSome years, when wildfire occurrence is high, fire departments and forest rangers need help to control them. New York has several mutual aid options with other states, federal agencies, and Canadian provinces:New York State Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services (DHSES);State Office of Emergency Management (SOEM);New York State Police Aviation Unit;New York State Division of Military and Naval Affairs;National Guard;Department of Correctional Services;US Forest Service;National Park Service;US Fish and Wildlife Service;Quebec;Newfoundland Labrador; andNew Brunswick.

 Wildfire Resilience
Improving the health and productivity of private forest lands and reducing the threat posed from wildland fires.

Established based on 2018 Senate Bill 901, the Wildfire Resilience Program is tasked with assisting nonindustrial timberland owners with wildfire resilience efforts by providing technical and financial assistance for their forest management needs. The Wildfire Resilience Program includes several state forestry assistance programs within CAL FIRE that share the goal of improving the health and productivity of private forest lands and reducing the threat posed from wildland fires.  

Wildfire Resilience Sub-Programs

Forest Legacy Program

The Forest Legacy Program protects environmentally important forest land threatened with conversion to non-forest uses by providing funding for purchase of working forest conservation easements or fee title to willing sellers of forested lands. 

Forest Stewardship

The Forest Stewardship Program offers technical and financial assistance opportunities to assist individual landowners with land management planning, conservation practices to enhance wildlife habitat, and practices to enhance the productivity of their forested land. 

Reforestation Services Program

The L.A. Moran Reforestation Center specializes in cone processing and seed storage as well as nursery grown, native tree seedlings which combine to provide private landowners with the seeds and seedlings needed to restore forests lost to pest, disease or wildfires.
