Eighteen wildfires are raging across California, according to a map from the state’s fire agency.

An updated map from the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) shows fires burning across the state, with more than half of active incidents in the southern half of the state. Fires range from 15 acres to more than 400,000 acres. Flames ignited as recently as this week for some of the fires, while for others, firefighters have worked to suppress the blazes for months.

Most of the fires started this month, including the Airport Fire, which ignited in Orange County on Monday and has spread to about 9,000 acres in less than 24 hours, Orange County Fire Authority Captain Augie Romo told Newsweek. Multiple agencies are working to douse the flames. One of the top priorities was protecting an antenna farm atop Santiago Peak, Romo said, with firefighters conducting controlled burns in the area early Tuesday morning to eliminate fuel should the flames grow.

Quebec said Friday it will send two more firefighting aircraft to California, a day after one of the province’s water bombers collided with a drone while battling the wildfires ravaging the Los Angeles area.

Quebec Public Security Minister François Bonnardel said on X that “at the request of U.S. authorities, we will be sending two additional water bombers … and their crews as early as Jan. 15.”

He said Quebec will provide California with four water bombers in total.
