What is a wildfire? A wildfire is an unplanned fire that burns through natural areas like forests or grasslands. It forms when a heat source, such as lightning or a campfire, meets dry plants and plenty of oxygen. These fires can grow and move quickly if the weather is hot, dry, and windy.
If there is smoke nearby, stay indoors with windows closed and follow the guidance of local emergency services.
