What is a wildfire? A wildfire is an unplanned fire that burns through natural areas like forests or grasslands. These fires often start when a heat source, like lightning or a spark, meets dry plants and wood. With help from oxygen and wind, the flames can travel quickly across the landscape.

If you are near a fire, stay inside to avoid breathing smoke and follow the directions of local safety officials immediately.
