What is a wildfire? A wildfire is an unplanned fire that burns in natural areas like forests or grasslands. It usually starts from a heat source, such as lightning or human activity, combined with dry plants and wind. These fires can move quickly, especially if the weather is hot and there is plenty of dry fuel.
If you are near a fire, stay indoors, keep windows closed to block smoke, and follow local news for evacuation updates.
