What is a wildfire? A wildfire is an uncontrolled fire that burns through natural areas like forests or grasslands. These fires often start from natural causes like lightning or by accident. They grow quickly when they have dry wood, leaves, and wind to help them spread across the landscape.
If smoke is nearby, stay indoors and keep windows closed to help protect your lungs and keep the air inside clean.
