What is a wildfire? A wildfire is an unplanned fire that burns in natural areas like forests or grasslands. These fires form when a heat source, such as lightning or a spark, meets dry fuel like wood and leaves. If the weather is dry and windy, the flames can spread quickly across the landscape.
If smoke is in the air, stay indoors with windows closed and follow instructions from local authorities regarding evacuation routes.
