What is a wildfire? A wildfire is an unplanned fire that burns through natural areas like forests. These fires usually start when dry grass or wood is ignited by lightning or heat. Once a fire begins, it can spread quickly across the land, especially if the weather is windy and the ground is very dry.

Stay indoors with windows and doors closed to keep smoke out, and always follow the instructions of local emergency leaders.
