What is a wildfire? A wildfire is an unplanned fire that burns in natural areas like forests or grasslands. It happens when dry plants, oxygen, and a heat source like lightning or a spark come together. If the weather is dry and windy, the flames can spread quickly across the landscape.
If you are in an affected area, stay indoors to avoid breathing smoke and follow all instructions from local emergency officials.
