What is a wildfire? A wildfire is an uncontrolled fire that burns through wild areas like forests or grasslands. It forms when a heat source, like lightning or a spark, meets dry plants and plenty of oxygen. These fires can move quickly across the landscape, especially when the weather is hot and windy.
Stay indoors with windows and doors closed to keep out smoke and follow the instructions of local fire authorities.
