What is a wildfire? A wildfire is an uncontrolled fire that burns through wildland vegetation like forests or grasslands. These fires often start during dry weather when a spark from lightning or human activity lands on parched plants. Once it begins, wind and warm temperatures can help the fire spread across the landscape.
Stay indoors to keep your lungs safe from smoke and always follow the directions given by local emergency services.
