2013 Fire Season

Over 9,000 wildfires burned at least 600,000 acres of land, in the state of California, during 2013. These included several large, notable wildfires, including the Rim Fire, which became California's 3rd largest wildfire. One of the wildfires was also caused by the plane crash of the Asiana Airlines Flight 214 on July 6, 2013, which ignited a wildfire that burned around 1 acre of land.
