What is a wildfire? A wildfire is an unplanned fire that burns in natural areas like forests or grasslands. It forms when heat, oxygen, and fuel like dry wood or leaves combine. Often triggered by lightning or human activity, these fires can spread quickly if the weather is dry and windy.
If you are near the fire, stay indoors to avoid breathing smoke and follow all instructions from local safety officials.
