CalFire info | Palisades Fire 1/8/25
[Chuck Almdale]
CalFire (California Dept. of Forestry and Fire Protection) is a good source for information.
Main Web page: https://www.fire.ca.gov/
[NOTE: Some people prefer Watch Duty: https://app.watchduty.org/i/40335
It uses many map colors and fire division units, but I think their color keys and explanation insufficient. (lick any map unit to get additional information.]
