What is a wildfire? A wildfire is an uncontrolled fire that burns in wild lands like forests or grasslands. They usually start from lightning strikes or human activity. These fires need heat, oxygen, and fuel like dry leaves or wood to grow. When conditions are dry and windy, the flames can spread quickly across the landscape.
Stay informed by listening to local radio for updates, and keep windows closed to prevent smoke from entering your home.
