Gifford Fire burns 30,000 acres in Los Padres National Forest on August 2, 2025. Flames sweep through rugged terrain near Santa Maria, California, forcing evacuations and endangering nearby communities and wildlife. Firefighters battle extreme heat, shifting winds, and dry vegetation as they work to contain the rapidly expanding wildfire. The blaze, fueled by ongoing drought and high temperatures, sends thick smoke across the region, prompting air quality warnings and road closures. The Gifford Fire becomes one of the largest wildfires of the season in California, illustrating the intensifying impact of climate change on fire behavior and frequency in the American West.
