Whitesbridge Fire Contained as Rainy Weather Suppresses Statewide Fire Activity
Wildfire activity remains suppressed across California following widespread rainfall and mountain snow that have elevated fuel moisture levels statewide. The National Interagency Coordination Center reports zero uncontained large wildfires across both Northern and Southern California. Containment operations have wrapped up on recent small starts, leaving no active threats to communities.
Key Fires
- Whitesbridge Fire — The Whitesbridge Fire in Fresno County is contained, with crews securing all control lines and no lingering threats or evacuation orders in place. Conditions over the burn area will stay cool and damp, with increasing cloud cover and rain arriving early in the week.
Conditions and Outlook
No Red Flag Warnings or Fire Weather Watches are active anywhere in California, and significant fire potential remains at its lowest level statewide over the next several days. Incoming frontal systems are delivering widespread rainfall, mountain snow, and high humidity recoveries across northern and central districts. Cool conditions and scattered showers across Southern California will continue to keep fire weather risks thoroughly dampened.
Burn Bans and Land Management
Prescribed burning operations are active in the Sierra National Forest at Nelder Grove and along the Garnet Roadside Hazard corridor, alongside projects in Riverside and Colusa counties. CAL FIRE has designated permissive burn days in Shasta, Nevada, and Sierra counties, though burning remains prohibited within Grass Valley and Nevada City limits, and property owners statewide must verify local permits and avoid ignitions during windy periods.
What Residents Should Do
- Check local air district standards and permit requirements before conducting any outdoor debris burning.
- Avoid burning yard waste or debris during windy conditions, even on designated burn days.
- Drown and stir previous burn piles with water to ensure they are completely cold to the touch.
