What is a wildfire? A wildfire is an unplanned fire that burns through natural areas like forests or grasslands. It usually starts when a heat source, like lightning or human activity, meets dry plants and wind. These fires can move quickly, clearing away dead wood and helping some ecosystems eventually start fresh.
If you are near a fire, stay indoors with windows closed to keep the air clean and follow local official updates.
