What is a wildfire? A wildfire is an unplanned fire that burns through natural areas like forests or grasslands. It forms when a heat source, such as lightning or a human activity, meets dry plants and oxygen. These fires can spread quickly depending on the wind and how much dry wood is on the ground.
Stay inside to keep away from smoke and always listen to local authorities for the safest evacuation routes.
