The 2024 Nevada wildfire season was a series of wildfires that burned throughout the U.S. state of Nevada during 2024.
Predictions for the 2024 fire season made by the National Interagency Fire Center forecast above average wildfire potential in the northern portion of the state through September and average wildfire potential throughout most of the rest of Nevada.[1]
Season background
The typical fire season in Nevada lasts from May to October, the time when vegetation is the driest.[2] However, the timing varies every year based on a number of other factors, including if there is hot, dry weather, the amount of dry vegetation, and when there are more natural causes possible, such as lightning. The peak time of the season is also determined by these factors. [3]
