The Silverado Fire[1] was a wildfire that burned in October and November 2020 in southern Orange County, California northeast of the city of Irvine.

[12][3] Orange County Fire Authority Chief Brian Fennessy stated, "The winds were extraordinary even by Santa Ana standards.

[15] In February 2024, state regulators fined Southern California Edison $2.4 Million for violations involving equipment owned by them and shared with T-Mobile.

[21] The fire partially destroyed a 6.1-acre area along Agua Chinon Creek and around Limestone Canyon Regional Park that had recently been the subject of a five-year project to restore the nature to its native setting.

[22] The burn scars of the Silverado and Bond fires coupled with a winter rain storm caused a series of mudflows on the evening of January 28, 2021.
