What is a wildfire? A wildfire is an unplanned fire that burns in natural areas like forests or grasslands. It usually starts when something very hot, like lightning or a small spark, meets dry plants and wood. If the weather is windy and dry, the fire can spread quickly across the landscape.

Stay indoors with windows closed if you see smoke and always follow the instructions of local fire officials and emergency services.
