What is a wildfire? A wildfire is an uncontrolled fire that spreads through vegetation like forests or scrubland. It forms when heat, oxygen, and fuel like dry leaves or wood meet. In hot, dry conditions, even a small spark from lightning or people can start a fire that grows quickly as it burns through the brush.

Stay informed by checking local emergency apps and have a family plan ready in case you need to leave the area quickly.
