What is a wildfire? A wildfire is an uncontrolled fire that burns in wildland areas like forests or grasslands. These fires can start from natural causes like lightning or human activity. They spread by feeding on dry plants, trees, and leaves, especially when the weather is hot, dry, and windy.
Keep windows closed to stay safe from smoke and always have a family plan ready in case local officials tell you to evacuate.
