What is a wildfire? A wildfire is an uncontrolled fire that spreads through vegetation like grass, shrubs, or trees. These fires often start when dry weather combines with heat and a spark, which can come from lightning or human activity. In places like Botswana, dry seasons make it easier for these fires to ignite and grow.
If you live near a fire, stay indoors with windows closed to keep the air clean and listen to local weather reports.
