What is a wildfire? Wildfires are large, uncontrolled fires that burn through natural areas like forests or grasslands. They often start when a heat source, like lightning or a spark, meets dry plants and wood. If the weather is windy and the ground is dry, the flames can spread quickly over long distances.
If smoke is nearby, stay indoors with windows closed and follow instructions from local authorities to stay safe.
