What is a wildfire? A wildfire is an unplanned fire that burns through natural areas like forests or grasslands. It happens when heat, like lightning or a spark, meets dry plants and plenty of oxygen. While they can be dangerous, some fires help the ecosystem by clearing out dead plants to help new ones grow.
Stay inside to keep away from smoke, close all windows, and always follow the directions given by local safety officials.
