Here s where California wildfires are burning in the state
Updated July 14.
Fire season was ramping up in California again, as fires of various sizes burned across the state.
As of July 2021, the number of fires was outpacing averages of past fire seasons. This was due to a number of reasons, including dry conditions, high winds and record-setting temperatures.
In an effort to prevent fires, several utility companies, including Pacific Gas & Electric, said they would spend about $13 billion in wildfire prevention. PG&E s plan would cover 2021 and 2022, and includes a computerized risk model that would pinpoint the areas most prone to wildfires. From there, PG&E could concentrate safety work in those areas.

Thamnophis sirtalis that is only known to exist on the San Francisco Peninsula in San Mateo County, got a boost in it habitat May 22 when the San Mateo County Planning Commission approved an environmental enhancement project for the snake.
Working with the land conservation agency Peninsula Open Space Trust (POST) and the San Mateo Resource Conservation District, a total of 16.7 acres of the snake’s habitat as well as that of its main prey, the California red-legged frog, will be improved. The 16.7 acres are part of a 65-acre plot of undeveloped farmland. It will be called the The Butano Farms San Francisco Garter Snake Habitat Enhancement Project. The plot is located in Pescadero on unicorporated land owned by POST.
SAN JOSE, Calif. â Nearly eight months after Gov. Gavin Newsom visited Big Basin Redwoods State Park to tour the damage after a major wildfire, green sprouts are coming back on the blackened trunks of the parkâs ancient redwoods. But not much else has changed on the charred landscape.
Hazardous trees pose a risk. The wreckage of burned buildings and vehicles from the Aug. 19 wildfire still hasnât been cleared. State officials havenât completed a damage estimate of how much it will cost to rebuild. And the process for holding public meetings to construct new facilities at Big Basin â Californiaâs oldest state park, whose soaring redwoods in the Santa Cruz Mountains attracted 1 million visitors a year â hasnât yet begun.
