In plain language

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. Once ignited, heat, oxygen, and dry plants act as fuel, allowing the flames to spread quickly across the landscape.

Stay indoors to avoid breathing smoke and keep windows closed to ensure your family stays safe and healthy during a nearby fire.
