What is a wildfire? A wildfire is an unplanned fire that burns through natural areas like forests or grasslands. It starts when fuel, such as dry leaves or wood, meets a heat source like lightning or a spark. These fires can spread quickly when the weather is hot, dry, and windy.
If you are near the area, stay indoors with windows closed to keep the air inside your home clean and safe.
