What is a wildfire? A wildfire is an unplanned fire that burns through natural areas like forests or grasslands. These fires usually start from lightning strikes or human activity during hot, dry weather. They grow by using dry leaves, twigs, and trees as fuel, sometimes moving quickly depending on the wind and terrain.
If you are near a fire, stay indoors with windows closed to keep the air inside your home clean and safe to breathe.
