What is a wildfire? A wildfire is an uncontrolled fire that spreads through wild areas like forests or grasslands. It happens when dry plants, oxygen, and a heat source—like lightning or a stray spark—come together. Once it starts, wind and dry weather can help the fire travel across the landscape.
Stay inside to avoid breathing in smoky air and always listen to local authorities for updates on where it is safe to go.
