In plain language

What is a wildfire? Wildfires are uncontrolled fires that burn through natural areas like forests or dry grasslands. They often start during hot, dry weather when a spark from lightning or human activity hits dry plants. Once ignited, wind can carry the flames across large areas, especially if there has not been rain for a long time.

Keep windows and doors closed to block out smoke and stay tuned to local radio stations for official updates.
