Overview of the Silverado Fire
The Silverado Fire destroyed or damaged 14 structures in Orange County from late October through early November 2020. Two firefighters were severely burned in the fire.
Santa Ana wind gusts of up to 80 miles per hour pushed the Silverado Fire through more than 13,000 acres with astonishing speed. Approximately 90,000 people were evacuated from their homes and schools. As is common after wildfires, heavy rain later caused dangerous mudslides in the burn scars.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation, but Southern California Edison has stated that a telecommunications lashing wire could have contributed to its ignition.
