What is a wildfire? A wildfire is an unplanned fire that burns in wild areas like forests or grasslands. They usually start from natural causes like lightning or human activities. For a fire to grow, it needs the fire triangle: heat, fuel like dry leaves or wood, and oxygen from the air.
If you are near a fire, stay indoors to avoid breathing smoke and follow instructions from local authorities or fire services.
