What is a wildfire? A wildfire is an unplanned fire that burns in natural areas like forests or grasslands. These fires usually start when dry plants, like grass or wood, catch fire from lightning or human activity. When the weather is hot and windy, the flames can spread quickly across the landscape.

Stay indoors with windows and doors closed to keep out smoke, and always listen to local authorities for safety updates.
