What is a wildfire? A wildfire is an unplanned fire that burns through natural areas like forests or fields. They often start when very dry grass or trees are ignited by lightning or human actions. If the weather is windy and the ground is dry, the flames can spread across the landscape, feeding on plants and wood.

Stay inside to keep away from smoke and always listen to local authorities for the latest updates on when it is safe to travel.
