Wildfires in Southern California happen as often as conditions permit, really. There are usually brushfires every year, but 90 percent of the time they only burn a few hundred or couple thousand acres per fire, and most do not threaten homes. It is the big fires, fueled by fierce winds that tend to threaten homes. Remember that most wildfires start with a heat source such as the sun or someone committing arson, and are then fueled by low humidity and high wind.

Where do wildfires occur the least?
Wildfires occur the least in areas with high humidity, low temperatures, and low vegetation density, such as Arctic regions and some parts of the Pacific Northwest where it tends to rain frequently. Areas with sparse vegetation like deserts also experience fewer wildfires.

Fire tornadoes are rare but can occur during wildfires in areas with intense heat, wind, and fire behavior. They are often generated by large wildfires under specific weather conditions that create a rotating column of air and flames. These extreme fire events have been reported in regions with a history of wildfires, such as California, Australia, and parts of Europe.
