What is a wildfire? A wildfire is a large fire that spreads quickly through dry plants like grass and trees. They often happen during hot, dry weather when a spark—from lightning or a person—meets dry fuel. Once started, wind can help the flames move fast across the landscape.
Stay indoors with windows closed to keep out smoke, and always follow the instructions of local emergency workers.
