What is a wildfire? A wildfire is an unplanned fire that burns in natural areas like forests or grasslands. They often start during hot, dry weather when lightning or a spark ignites dry plants. These fires spread by consuming trees, leaves, and shrubs, which act as fuel for the moving flames.
If you are in a smoky area, stay indoors and keep windows closed to breathe cleaner air.
