What is a wildfire? A wildfire is an uncontrolled fire that burns through natural areas like forests or grasslands. It starts when heat, such as lightning or a spark, meets fuel like dry wood and leaves. Combined with wind and oxygen, these fires can spread quickly, playing a natural but powerful role in the environment.

Keep windows and doors closed to block out smoke and listen to local authorities for any updates or safety instructions.
