What is a wildfire? A wildfire is an uncontrolled fire that burns through wild areas like forests or grasslands. These fires often start from natural causes like lightning or human activity. They grow when the weather is hot and dry, using trees, bushes, and dried leaves as fuel to spread across the landscape.

Keep a bag packed with essentials and stay tuned to local radio stations for the latest evacuation updates from fire services.
