What is a wildfire? A wildfire is an uncontrolled fire that burns through wild lands like forests or grasslands. It usually starts when dry plants, oxygen, and a heat source—like lightning or a human spark—meet. Once it begins, dry weather and wind can help the flames spread across the landscape.

If you are near a fire, stay indoors and keep windows closed to protect your lungs from breathing in smoke.
