What is a wildfire? A wildfire is an unplanned fire that burns through natural areas like forests or grasslands. These fires often start when heat from lightning or humans meets dry plants and oxygen. Once a fire begins, wind and dry weather can help it spread across the landscape.
Stay indoors to avoid breathing smoky air and keep windows closed to help keep your home's air clean.
