What is a wildfire? A wildfire is an unplanned fire that burns through wild areas like forests or grasslands. They usually form during hot, dry weather when a spark from lightning or humans hits dry wood or leaves. Because there is so much fuel to burn, these fires can move very quickly across the landscape.

Stay tuned to local emergency broadcasts and have a family evacuation plan ready in case you are asked to leave the area safely.
