The Rough Fire was a major wildfire in Fresno County, California, and the largest of the 2015 California wildfire season. The fire was ignited by a lightning strike on July 31 and burned {{convert|151,623 |acre|ha|0|abbr=on}}, largely in the Sierra National Forest and the Sequoia National Forest, before it was declared contained on November 6, 2015.{{Cite web |title=Rough Fire |url=https://www.fire.ca.gov/incidents/2015/7/31/rough-fire |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230929193303/https://www.fire.ca.gov/incidents/2015/7/31/rough-fire |archive-date=September 29, 2023 |access-date=February 12, 2024 |website=www.fire.ca.gov |publisher=California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (Cal Fire)}}{{cite web|title=Rough Fire|url=http://inciweb.nwcg.gov/incident/4456/|website=InciWeb|access-date=October 3, 2015|archive-date=September 16, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150916054508/http://inciweb.nwcg.gov/incident/4456|url-status=dead}} At the time it occurred, the fire was the thirteenth largest in recorded California history.

The Rough Fire destroyed four structures and caused zero fatalities. Twelve injuries were recorded among the firefighters that responded to the incident, who numbered more than 3,700 at peak staffing in mid-September. The effort to contain the fire cost an estimated $120 million.

Progression

The Rough Fire was begun by a lightning strike in the evening hours of Friday, July 31, 2015. The location of the fire's ignition was in the southern Sierra National Forest, partway up Deer Ridge between Rough Creek and Deer Creek in the upper drainage of the Kings River. It was first detected by the Buck Rock fire lookout in Sequoia National Forest to the south, and the location of the fire was triangulated with the help of several other lookouts. Lightning touched off several other fires in the region that night, but all were quickly contained.{{Cite podcast |url=https://www.kvpr.org/valley-edition/2015-09-29/life-on-top-of-buck-rock-watching-the-rough-fire-rage |title=Life On Top Of Buck Rock, Watching The Rough Fire Rage |website=KVPR |publisher=NPR |last=Moore |first=Joe |date=September 29, 2015 |time=2:50 |access-date=February 12, 2024 |last2=Romero |first2=Ezra David |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240212180307/https://www.kvpr.org/valley-edition/2015-09-29/life-on-top-of-buck-rock-watching-the-rough-fire-rage |archive-date=February 12, 2024 |url-status=live}}
