What is a wildfire? A wildfire is an unplanned fire that burns in natural areas like forests or grasslands. They often form during hot, dry weather when plants become easy to burn. When a spark from lightning or human activity meets dry leaves and wind, the fire can spread across the landscape quickly.

Families should keep windows closed to block out smoke and stay tuned to local radio stations for the latest official safety updates.
