Large winter wildfires are very rare in California. The University of Louvain disaster database includes only two since 2000, the Thomas Fire in 2017 (which consumed 1,102 square kilometers) and the less extensive Gavilan Fire in 2002 (23 square kilometers), which however, it caused a massive hasty evacuation of residents and injuries.
