What is a wildfire? A wildfire is an uncontrolled fire that burns through wild vegetation like forests, grasslands, or brush. They often start from natural causes like lightning or human activities when the weather is hot and dry. Once ignited, wind and dry plants act as fuel, allowing the fire to spread across the landscape.
Stay indoors with windows closed to keep out smoke and follow instructions from local authorities if they ask you to move to safety.
