California: Wildfire's hotspot
The Cow Fire
With its centre in the Golden Trout Wilderness, the naturally occuring fire actually preserves the health of the forest. It's a low intensity fire on a high elevation area. By containing the fire in its natural perimeter, it remains harmless to the environment.
The South Fire
Flourishing in the remote and rugged Shasta-Trinity National Forest, the fire here has killed multiple firefighters and continues to be difficult to control because of the steep terrain of the region.
The Briceburg Fire
Burning in the Mariposa County of California, near the Yosemite National Park, the fire has forced mandatory evacuation of nearby areas on Highway 140 of the United States.
The Taboose Fire
The ferocious fire is contained because of rocks and already burnt areas. However, being in an area with a lot of unburnt fuel, the fire could escalate and cause mayhem in the region.
The Deadliest 'Camp' Wildfire
The deadliest and most destructive wildfire in the history of California. The fire began on November 8, 2018, and killed 85 people while destroying 18,804 structures. California was facing a drought at the time, which was further intensified by fires and climate change.
