What is a wildfire? A wildfire is an unplanned fire that burns through natural areas like forests or grasslands. It usually starts from a heat source, such as lightning or human activity, combined with dry fuel like wood and leaves. Once it begins, wind and hot weather can help the flames spread across the landscape.

If you are near a fire, stay indoors to avoid breathing smoke and follow instructions from local authorities for evacuations.
