What is a wildfire? A wildfire is an unplanned fire that burns through natural areas like forests or grasslands. It forms when a heat source, such as lightning or a spark, meets dry plants and oxygen. These fires can spread quickly if the weather is windy and the vegetation is very dry.

Keep windows closed to block out smoke and always follow instructions from local emergency services regarding air quality and evacuations.
