What is a wildfire? A wildfire is an unplanned fire that burns in natural areas like forests or grasslands. They often start from lightning strikes or human activity. When the weather is hot, dry, and windy, these fires can spread quickly by feeding on dry leaves, branches, and grass as fuel.

If you live nearby, keep windows closed to block out smoke and stay informed by listening to local emergency broadcasts for instructions.
