What is a wildfire? A wildfire is an unplanned fire that burns through natural areas like forests or grasslands. It usually starts when heat from lightning or human activity meets dry plants and wood. If the weather is dry and windy, the flames can spread across the landscape, using trees and brush as fuel.
Stay indoors to avoid breathing in smoke and always follow the instructions of local authorities if you need to move to safety.
