What is a wildfire? A wildfire is an unplanned fire that burns through natural areas like forests or grasslands. It forms when a heat source, such as lightning or a campfire, meets dry plants and plenty of oxygen. These fires can spread quickly if the weather is windy or the ground is very dry.
Stay indoors with windows closed to keep out smoke, and always follow the instructions of local officials if you need to evacuate.
