Why Redding (Redding / Shasta County) sees major wildfires
Redding sits in one of California’s hottest, most fire-prone corners, where the north end of the Central Valley meets steep, timbered canyons. Triple-digit heat, low humidity, and canyon winds can drive fires to extreme, plume-dominated behavior here faster than almost anywhere in the state.
The 2018 Carr Fire generated a rare fire tornado as it tore into west Redding, destroying roughly 1,000 homes and killing eight — a defining example of how violently fires can behave in this terrain.

Is this an official Redding emergency map?
No. FireRisk is an awareness tool built on official NIFC and NWS data — it complements but never replaces Redding's official alerts, local fire authorities, and 911.
Awareness only — built on official NIFC (fires) and NWS (fire weather) data, which can lag real conditions. For Redding evacuation orders follow Redding Fire Department, Watch Duty, and call 911 in an emergency.
