What is a wildfire? A wildfire is an unplanned fire that burns in natural areas like forests or shrublands. These fires often start from lightning or human activity. They grow quickly when the weather is hot and dry, using plants and trees as fuel to spread across the land.

If you are nearby, stay indoors with windows and doors closed to keep the air inside your home clean and safe.
