What is a wildfire? A wildfire is an unplanned fire that burns through natural areas like forests or grasslands. These fires often start when very dry plants are ignited by lightning or human activity. Once a flame begins, heat and wind can help the fire travel across the landscape, especially during dry seasons.
Stay inside with windows closed to keep the air clean and always follow the guidance provided by your local emergency services.
