Map shows where large wildfires are burning in California right now Map of Fires around California as of Sept. 10, 2024. Cal Fire By Amy Graff, Senior News Editor Sep 10, 2024  Multiple wildfires were burning across California on Monday, threatening communities and forcing people to leave their homes. The state is moving into a time of year when it usually sees its most destructive wildfires. In September and October, the vegetation on the ground is parched and highly flammable after a dry, hot summer. What's more, this is the time of year when offshore winds, which fan flames and cause wildfires to spread quickly, often develop. Here's a look at fires burning across the state: Time-lapse Alert: "Airport Fire" in Riverside County 🔥 Check out this powerful time-lapse video showing the #AirportFire east of Santiago Peak, captured by @ALERTCalifornia. California is still facing extreme fire behavior with high temps and dry conditions.
