() Fire crews across the western part of the United States are battling four large wildfires across multiple states.

Here is what you need to know about the Gifford, Canyon, Lee and Dragon Bravo fires burning right now.

Gifford Fire – California

The Gifford Fire in California, which started Aug. 1, has burned 114,621 acres of land. It has been 21% contained as of Sunday morning.

It has prompted evacuation orders for people living in San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara counties. Three civilians and seven fire personnel have been injured as a result of the fire.

“Immediate threat to life. This is a lawful order to LEAVE NOW. The area is lawfully closed to public access,” the online evacuation order says.

The cause of the Gifford Fire is under investigation.

Canyon Fire – California

The Canyon Fire has burned 5,370 acres near the Ventura-Los Angeles county line. It has been contained 62% as of Sunday.

The fire broke out Thursday afternoon in the mountains north of Los Angeles near Lake Piru. There are more than 1,000 fire personnel battling the fire in that region, according to Cal Fire. Seven structures were damaged in the fire.

The Los Angeles Fire Department said there have been no injuries reported from the fires. The cause of the fire is under investigation.

Lee Fire – Colorado

The Lee Fire in Colorado has affected Rio Branco County. It has burned 106,672 acres of land and has a containment rate of 6%.

Evacuations were also carried out in Garfield County on Saturday due to the threat from the Lee Fire, according to affiliate KDVR. There have been no injuries reported.

Officials said the cause of the Lee Fire was lightning.

Dragon Bravo Fire – Arizona

The Dragon Bravo Fire at the Grand Canyon National Park has been ongoing since July 4 and has burned 143,489 acres. The fire is 37% contained as of Sunday.

Officials said lightning caused the blaze that has since destroyed dozens of structures and closed the northern part of the national park. It will remain closed for the rest of the 2025 season, and officials will determine when to open for the 2026 season later.

No deaths or injuries have been reported.
