What is a wildfire? A wildfire is an uncontrolled fire that burns through natural areas like forests or grasslands. These fires often start when dry plants are ignited by lightning or human activity. Once sparked, hot weather and wind can cause the fire to grow and move across the landscape.

Stay informed by listening to local radio stations and follow your family’s pre-planned evacuation route if authorities advise you to leave.
