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 or human activity. When the environment is hot, dry, and windy, a small spark can quickly spread by using dry plants and trees as fuel to grow.

Keep an emergency kit ready and stay tuned to local radio or official apps for the latest safety updates and evacuation instructions.
