What is a wildfire? Wildfires are unplanned fires that burn in natural areas like forests or grasslands. They often start when very dry weather meets a spark from lightning or human activity. These fires spread by burning dry plants and wood, often moving faster when the wind blows through the trees.
Keep windows and doors closed to block out smoke and stay tuned to local news for official safety instructions.
