California Wildfires refer to large-scale, uncontrolled fires that occur in the state of California, primarily in its forests, grasslands, and urban interfaces. These wildfires typically happen during the dry summer months when the combination of high temperatures, low humidity, and strong winds creates ideal conditions for fire spread. Factors such as drought, climate change, and human activities contribute to the frequency and intensity of these wildfires.
