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 wood and leaves become easy to burn. These fires can be caused by natural events like lightning or by human activities, moving quickly as they find more dry plants for fuel.

Stay informed by listening to local authorities and keep windows closed to help keep the air inside your home clean and clear.
