What is a wildfire? A wildfire is an unplanned fire that burns in natural areas like forests or grasslands. It often starts when a heat source, like lightning or a spark, meets dry plants and wind. These fires can move quickly as they consume dry leaves, branches, and trees as fuel.

Keep windows and doors closed to block out smoke, and always follow the instructions of local emergency workers right away.
