[UPDATED With Easier to Use Information] Lightning Fire Maps
Here are the Cal Fire maps indicating where fires have been located. We’re crowd-sourcing this. Add analysis and information in the comment section. Try to be as factual as possible. We’ll add confirmed information to the main lightning fire page here.
The map to the left shows the fires near Blocksburg. The flames represent a confirmed fire. The number one is for our area and then the next numbers indicate which fire it is in the order it was discovered. So, 1.32 is the thirty-second fire found in our area. According to these maps, there are at least 58 confirmed fires. We believe because of scanner traffic there are over 60 in Southern Humboldt alone. This does not include Trinity fires. Some have been extinguished.

The Blocksburg link doesn’t work.
Thanks for letting us know. I think we fixed it.
Thanks for all of these maps! Especially the one that showed our fires on the Kinsey Ranch (Pratt Mountain and South Map). They are all out.
Is there a map showing the Ruth Lake Mad River Complex?
Here is one.
