Tracking every wildfire burning throughout Central California

Firefighters are gaining ground on the Salt Fire as it burns into its third day, but steep terrain and hot conditions continue to challenge crews.

The fire, which began in Fresno County, is now pushing west toward Monterey County, threatening ranchland and prompting evacuations near Coalinga.

More than 1,000 personnel, supported by air tankers and helicopters, are working to strengthen containment lines as smoke remains visible from Highway 33 and Avenal.

Officials say the fire is also moving toward one of California's largest solar power facilities, a critical energy source for the Central Coast and Central Valley.

Crews have secured the northern edge and are focusing on the southeast perimeter to protect infrastructure and communities.

Cooler weekend temperatures are expected to help, but the cause of the fire remains under investigation.
