What is a wildfire? Wildfires are uncontrolled fires that burn through natural areas like forests or brush. They happen when dry plants, heat, and oxygen come together. These fires can be started by nature, like lightning, or by people. Dry weather and wind help the fire move across the landscape as it burns through fuel.

Stay inside to keep your lungs safe from smoke and follow all directions from local fire officials and emergency alerts.
