What is a wildfire? A wildfire is an unplanned fire that burns through natural areas like forests or grasslands. It starts when a heat source, such as lightning or a campfire, meets dry fuel like wood and leaves. Combined with oxygen from the air, the fire can spread quickly across dry landscapes.
If you are near a fire, stay indoors to avoid breathing smoke and always follow the instructions of local emergency workers.
