All 2026 Santa Clara County Fires · 6 fires

A fire is listed here when it is located in Santa Clara County. Each complex is counted once, through its parent: the parent carries the complex's acres, and its member fires are listed beneath it without being counted again. A fire that crossed a county line is listed with the acres that burned in Santa Clara County, not its whole reported size. A fire located elsewhere that burned into Santa Clara County is listed too, at its Santa Clara County acres, and is not added to the Santa Clara County fire counts. County lines come from a different boundary dataset than state lines, so Santa Clara County's acres are counted along county lines and can differ a little at the edges from the figures on the state page.
