What is a wildfire? A wildfire is an unplanned fire that burns in wild areas like forests or grasslands. It starts when a heat source, such as lightning or a spark, meets dry plants and plenty of oxygen. These fires can spread quickly if the weather is very hot, dry, and windy.
If there is smoke nearby, stay indoors with windows closed and follow instructions from local emergency services.
