What is a wildfire? A wildfire is an unplanned fire that burns through natural areas like forests or grasslands. They often start when dry plants catch fire from a heat source, such as lightning or human activity. Combined with wind and dry weather, these fires can spread quickly across the landscape.
Stay indoors with windows and doors closed to protect your lungs from smoke, and always follow the advice of local emergency services.
