What is a wildfire? A wildfire is an uncontrolled fire that burns through wild lands like forests or grasslands. They usually start when something hot, like lightning or a spark, meets dry plants and wood. With enough wind and warm weather, the flames can spread quickly across the landscape, recycling nutrients back into the soil.
If you are near smoke, stay indoors with windows closed and listen to local news for official instructions from fire experts.
