What is a wildfire? A wildfire, often called a bushfire in Australia, is an uncontrolled fire that burns through wild vegetation like forests or grasslands. These fires usually start from lightning strikes or human activity. They grow quickly when the weather is hot and dry, using trees and dry leaves as fuel to spread.

Families should stay informed by listening to local radio and have a pre-packed bag ready in case they need to move to safety.
