What is a wildfire? A wildfire is an unplanned fire that burns through natural areas like forests or grasslands. They often start during dry seasons when lightning or human activity ignites parched plants. Wind can help these fires spread quickly across the landscape, but they are a natural part of some ecosystems' life cycles.
If you live nearby, stay indoors to avoid breathing smoke and keep your windows closed until local officials say the air is clear.
