What is a wildfire? A wildfire is an uncontrolled fire that spreads through natural areas like forests or grasslands. These fires form when a heat source, such as lightning or a spark, meets dry fuel like dead leaves and wood. High temperatures and wind can help the fire grow by carrying embers to new spots.
Stay indoors with windows closed to keep out smoke, and follow the advice of local emergency officials immediately if evacuation is needed.
