What is a wildfire? Wildfires are unplanned fires that burn through natural areas like forests or grasslands. They start when a heat source, such as lightning or a campfire spark, meets dry wood or grass. Once ignited, these fires can spread quickly by using dry plants as fuel and moving with the wind.
Stay inside with windows closed to keep out smoke and always follow the advice of local emergency services regarding evacuations.
