What is a wildfire? A wildfire is an unplanned fire that burns in natural areas like forests or grasslands. It needs three ingredients to grow: fuel like dry wood, oxygen from the air, and a heat source. These fires can move quickly, especially during dry seasons when plants become easy to burn.
Keep windows and doors closed to block out smoke and stay tuned to local radio for official safety updates and instructions.
