What is a wildfire? A wildfire is an unplanned fire that burns through natural areas like forests or grasslands. They often start when the weather is hot and dry, triggered by a lightning strike or human activity. Once a fire begins, it can spread quickly by feeding on dry leaves, wood, and bushes.
Stay indoors to avoid breathing heavy smoke and follow all instructions from local safety officials or park rangers if you are nearby.
