What is a wildfire? A wildfire is an uncontrolled fire that spreads through natural areas like forests or grasslands. They usually start when dry plants are ignited by a spark from lightning or human activity. When the weather is hot, dry, and windy, these fires can grow and move across the landscape quickly.

Stay indoors with windows and doors closed to keep the air clear of smoke, and always follow instructions from local safety officials.
