What is a wildfire? A wildfire is an unplanned fire that burns through natural areas like forests or dry grasslands. These fires form when dry plants, oxygen, and a heat source—such as lightning or a small spark—come together. They can spread quickly when the weather is very hot, dry, and windy.
If you are in an affected area, stay indoors to avoid breathing smoke and follow all directions from local fire and safety officials.
