What is a wildfire? A wildfire is an unplanned fire that burns in natural areas like forests or grasslands. They often start during dry weather from lightning strikes or human activity. Once a fire begins, dry plants and wind can help it spread across the landscape, playing a powerful role in changing the environment.
If you are near a fire, stay indoors and close windows to keep the air inside your home clean and safe from smoke.
