What is a wildfire? A wildfire is an unplanned fire that burns in natural areas like forests or grasslands. They often start during dry seasons when lightning or human activity ignites parched plants and wood. These fires can spread quickly if there is plenty of dry fuel and strong winds to carry the flames.

If you are near a fire, stay indoors to avoid breathing smoke and always follow the safety instructions provided by local authorities.
