What is a wildfire? A wildfire is an unplanned fire that burns in natural areas like forests or grasslands. They often start from lightning strikes or human activities when the weather is very dry and hot. Once sparked, the fire uses dry plants and wood as fuel to spread quickly across the landscape.
If you are near a fire, stay indoors to avoid breathing smoke and follow all instructions from local emergency services.
