What is a wildfire? A wildfire is an unplanned fire that burns through natural areas like forests or grasslands. It happens when a spark—from lightning or human activity—meets dry plants, heat, and oxygen. This combination allows the fire to grow and move across the landscape, especially in dry weather.
Keep windows and doors closed to block out smoke and stay tuned to local radio for official updates.
