What is a wildfire? A wildfire is an unplanned fire that burns in natural areas like forests or grasslands. To grow, these fires need heat, oxygen, and fuel like dry wood or leaves. They can be caused by nature, such as lightning, or by human activity, and can spread quickly when the weather is windy.
Stay inside to avoid breathing smoke and keep doors and windows closed to protect your home's air quality.
