What is a wildfire? A wildfire is an unplanned fire that burns in wild lands like forests or grasslands. They usually start when vegetation is very dry, often triggered by a lightning strike or human activity. These fires can spread quickly by burning through trees and dry leaves, especially when it is windy.
If you are near a fire, stay inside with windows closed to keep the air clean and follow local news for evacuation updates.
