What is a wildfire? A wildfire is an unplanned fire that burns through natural areas like forests or grasslands. These fires often start during hot, dry weather when a spark from lightning or humans hits dry plants. Once a fire begins, wind can help it travel quickly across the landscape.

Stay informed by listening to local emergency broadcasts and keep a family bag packed with essentials like water, snacks, and a flashlight.
