An interactive map released by Frontline Wildfire Defense shows active wildfire incidents, perimeters, and thermal hotspots in California, primarily affecting areas near Los Angeles and national parks above Sacramento as of Monday. As the state experiences a record-breaking heat wave with temperatures exceeding 100 degrees Fahrenheit, Southern California has seen an unusually high number of hot days over the past week. The company's data reports 8,024 total wildfire incidents in 2024, including 578 new fires in March 2025, attributing prevalence to dry climate and strong Santa Ana winds that can quickly escalate small fires into major blazes.
