What is a wildfire? A wildfire is an unplanned fire that burns through natural areas like forests or grasslands. These fires form when a heat source, like lightning or a spark, ignites dry plants and wood. With enough oxygen and fuel, the flames can spread across the landscape, especially in windy weather.
If you are near smoke, stay indoors with windows closed and follow instructions from local emergency services.
