What is a wildfire? A wildfire is an unplanned fire that burns in natural areas like forests or grasslands. It starts when a heat source, such as lightning or a campfire, meets dry plants and oxygen. These fires can grow and move quickly if the land is very dry or if there are strong winds.

Keep windows and doors closed to keep smoke out, and always follow official instructions from local emergency services.
