What is a wildfire? A wildfire is an unplanned fire that burns through natural areas like forests or grasslands. These fires often start during hot, dry weather when a spark from lightning or human activity ignites dry leaves and wood. Once started, wind and dry conditions can help the flames spread across the landscape.
Stay indoors with windows and doors closed to keep the air clean, and follow all instructions from local emergency services.
