What is a wildfire? A wildfire is an unplanned fire that burns in natural areas like forests or grasslands. These fires often start from lightning strikes or human actions during dry weather. When there is plenty of dry wood and leaves, the fire can spread by using these materials as fuel.
If you are near a fire, stay indoors to avoid breathing smoke and keep a bag packed with essentials just in case.
