2025 Wildfire Season: Madre Wildfire (CA)

7 PM, July 4th

At the time that I am writing this update, according to the Madre Fire Inciweb site the Madre Fire has burned 70,800 acres and is at 10 percent containment. It has been windy in the area that the fire is burning, accounting for some of the growth in acreage burned. I have a better map for you showing the location of the fire in northern California.
