What is a wildfire? A wildfire is an uncontrolled fire that burns through wildland vegetation like forests or grasslands. It usually starts from natural causes like lightning or human activities. Once a spark meets dry leaves and a breeze, it can spread quickly, clearing away old growth so new plants can eventually sprout.
Stay indoors with windows closed if you see smoke, and always follow the instructions of local emergency teams to stay safe.
