What is a wildfire? A wildfire is an unplanned fire that burns through natural areas like forests or scrubland. They often start from lightning strikes or human activity. These fires thrive when the weather is hot and dry, using trees, grass, and fallen leaves as fuel to spread across the landscape.

Keep windows closed to block out smoke and follow the advice of local emergency services regarding any travel or evacuations.
