What is a wildfire? A wildfire is an unplanned fire that burns in natural areas like forests or grasslands. These fires often start from lightning or human activity when the ground is very dry. They can spread quickly by using trees, shrubs, and dry leaves as fuel to keep the flames moving.
Stay indoors to keep your lungs safe from smoke and always follow the evacuation instructions provided by your local emergency services.
