• Sepulveda Fire, 40 acres, Los Angeles County, no containment, started 1/23/2025, this is not a Cal Fire incident. Thanks to an article on wildfires in the Los Angeles area in the Washington Post, I learned that the Los Angeles Fire Department has an update on the Sepulveda Fire saying that forward progress has been stopped, evacuation orders are lifted, no structures were damaged.
• Clay Fire, 39 acres, Riverside County, 65 percent contained, started 1/21/2025

I have been reading about extreme weather and Santa Ana winds leading to wildfires in San Diego County. I wanted to find some information specific to San Diego County and as no wildfires were listed in San Diego were listed on the Cal Fire Incidents page that I referred to here, I did some digging and found two incidents on Cal Fires Incident Archive Page (accessed at 7 AM on January 23rd). I do believe that there are other wildfires burning in San Diego that I have no incident information on. I just checked Inciweb and saw nothing in San Diego County. If I am not mistaken Inciweb only lists fires on federal lands. There is likely other information, including the media about other wildfires in San Diego County beyond the two that I listed here.

• Lilac Fire, 85 acres, San Diego County, 100% contained on January 22nd, started 1/21/2025.
• Ncfr3-4 Fire, 80 acres, San Diego County, no containment, started 1/21/2025, this is not a Cal Fire Incident and I have not been able to find any other information on this fire.
