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 leaves and wood. These materials act as fuel, allowing the fire to spread across the landscape.
Stay informed by listening to local authorities and keep an emergency kit ready with water, essential supplies, and a battery-powered radio.
