What is a wildfire? A wildfire is an unplanned fire that burns in natural areas like forests or grasslands. It happens when fuel, such as dry wood or leaves, meets a heat source like lightning or a spark. Combined with oxygen, this creates a fire that can spread quickly across the landscape.
Stay indoors to avoid breathing in smoke and keep all windows closed. Always listen to local news for official safety instructions.
