What is a wildfire? A wildfire is an uncontrolled fire that spreads through natural areas like forests or grasslands. They usually start during dry seasons when plants become easy to burn. Whether sparked by lightning or human activity, these fires can move quickly across the landscape if the wind is strong and the ground is dry.
If smoke is in the air, stay indoors with windows closed and follow all instructions from local authorities regarding safety or evacuations.
