What is a wildfire? A wildfire is an unplanned fire that burns through natural areas like forests or grasslands. They often start during hot, dry weather from lightning strikes or human activity. These fires spread by using dry plants and trees as fuel, moving quickly when the wind blows or the land is steep.
Stay indoors to keep your lungs safe from smoke and always follow the instructions provided by local emergency services and news updates.
