What is a wildfire? A wildfire is an unplanned fire that burns through natural areas like forests or grasslands. It usually starts from a heat source, like a lightning strike or a campfire, and spreads quickly by feeding on dry leaves, wood, and wind. These fires can help some ecosystems grow but require careful management.

If you are nearby, stay indoors to avoid breathing smoke and keep your windows and doors closed to maintain clean air.
