What is a wildfire? A wildfire is an unplanned fire that burns in natural areas like forests or grasslands. It typically forms when a heat source, such as lightning, meets dry plants and oxygen. These fires can spread quickly if there is a lot of wind and very little rain to dampen the ground.

Keep a small bag packed with essentials like water and flashlights, and always follow instructions given by local emergency services.
