What is a wildfire? A wildfire is an unplanned fire that burns through natural areas like forests or grasslands. These fires often start from lightning strikes or human activity. When the weather is very hot and dry, the fire can spread quickly by feeding on dry leaves, brush, and trees.

Stay informed by listening to local authorities and have an emergency bag ready with water, a flashlight, and important family documents.
