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 during dry weather. When there is plenty of dry wood and leaves, the fire can spread quickly as wind carries heat and embers to new areas.

Stay informed by listening to local radio and keep an emergency bag ready with water, a flashlight, and your family's safety plan.
