San Diego Fire History—Cumulative Fire Count (1910–2003)

Wildland fire is a way of life in Southern California and can be devastating to businesses, residential communities, and wildlife. Application of frequency and interval models is an important component of regional wildland fire management. The main focus of this project was to investigate how often significant burn events have occurred. The results of this study were implemented in the form of this map, which shows significant fires in San Diego County from 1910 to 2003.
