What is a wildfire? A wildfire is an unplanned fire that burns through natural areas like forests or grasslands. They usually start during dry seasons when lightning or heat ignites dry plants. These fires need three things to grow: heat, oxygen, and fuel like dry leaves and wood, which help the flames spread across the land.
