What is a wildfire? A wildfire is an uncontrolled fire that spreads through wild vegetation like forests or grasslands. These fires often start during hot, dry weather when a spark from lightning or human activity ignites dry leaves and wood. Once started, wind can help the flames move quickly across the landscape.
Always keep a battery-powered radio handy and follow your local fire authority’s advice on when to stay put or evacuate safely.
