What is a wildfire? A wildfire is an unplanned fire that spreads through natural areas like forests or grasslands. It starts when a heat source, like lightning or a spark, meets dry plants and plenty of oxygen. These fires can move quickly, especially if the weather is windy and the ground is dry.

Stay informed by listening to local news and keep windows closed to protect your lungs from breathing in any drifting smoke.
