What is a wildfire? A wildfire is an unplanned fire that burns through natural areas like forests or fields. It starts when a heat source, like a lightning strike or a campfire, meets dry fuel like grass or wood. If the weather is windy and dry, the flames can travel across the landscape very quickly.

If you are nearby, keep windows closed to block smoke and stay tuned to local radio for updates from fire officials.
