What is a wildfire? A wildfire is an unplanned fire that burns in natural areas like forests or grasslands. It forms when dry plants, heat, and oxygen meet a spark from lightning or human activity. These fires can spread quickly, especially when it is windy or the ground is very dry.

Keep windows and doors closed to stay away from smoke, and always follow the directions of local fire safety officials.
