What is a wildfire? A wildfire is an unplanned fire that burns through natural areas like forests or grasslands. They often start when dry plants catch fire from lightning or human activity. These fires can spread quickly if there is plenty of fuel, such as dead leaves and wood, combined with dry weather and wind.
Stay indoors with windows and doors closed to keep the air inside clean and protect your lungs from breathing in heavy smoke.
