What is a wildfire? A wildfire is an uncontrolled fire that burns through forests, grasslands, or shrubs. It usually starts when dry plants catch fire from lightning or human activities. Once a fire begins, hot weather and strong winds can help it grow by pushing flames across dry leaves, branches, and trees.
Stay indoors with windows closed to avoid breathing smoke and follow the instructions of local emergency authorities.
