2022 Fire Year
While the number of fires in 2022 was only slightly below the 5-year average, the total acreage burned was well below the 5-year average; less than 400,000 acres burned in 2022 versus the 5-year average of 2,300,000+ acres.
Despite the 'quiet' year as measured in acreage, a number of significant wildfires burned in California in 2022; these include the Oak Fire in Mariposa County, which burned over 180 structures, the McKinney Fire in Siskiyou County, which caused 4 fatalities, and the Mosquito Fire in Placer and El Dorado counties, which was California's largest wildfire of the year.
Pictured: the McKinney Fire which started in the Klamath National Forest in July of 2022.
