What is a wildfire? A wildfire is an unplanned fire that burns in natural areas like forests or grasslands. They usually form when a heat source, like lightning or human activity, meets dry plants and plenty of oxygen. Once it starts, wind and hot weather can help the fire spread across the landscape.
Stay indoors to avoid breathing smoke and keep windows closed to maintain clean air inside your home.
