What is a wildfire? A wildfire is an unplanned fire that burns in wild areas like forests or grasslands. They often start from lightning strikes or human activity. When the weather is dry and windy, these fires can spread quickly by burning through dry leaves, dead branches, and tall grass.

If smoke is in the air, stay indoors with windows closed and follow all instructions from local safety officials.
