What is a wildfire? A wildfire is an unplanned fire that burns through natural areas like forests or grasslands. They often start during hot, dry weather when a spark from lightning or human activity ignites dry plants. These fires can move quickly as they find more wood and leaves to use as fuel.

Stay informed by checking local emergency apps and keep a bag ready with water, a flashlight, and important family contact numbers.
