What is a wildfire? A wildfire is an unplanned fire that burns in wild places like forests or grasslands. It starts when dry plants catch fire from things like lightning or extreme heat. These fires use wood and leaves as fuel, allowing them to spread across the landscape depending on wind and weather.

Stay indoors to avoid breathing in smoke and listen to local radio stations for the latest safety instructions from officials.
