What is a wildfire? A wildfire is an unplanned fire that burns in wild areas like forests or grasslands. They often start when dry plants catch fire from lightning or human activity. Because the vegetation acts as fuel, these fires can spread quickly, especially when it is windy and the ground is dry.
Stay indoors to keep your lungs safe from smoke and always follow the evacuation paths recommended by your local emergency services.
