What is a wildfire? A wildfire is an unplanned fire that burns through natural areas like forests or grasslands. They often start during dry weather from lightning or human activity. These fires grow by feeding on dry plants, trees, and leaves, and they can spread quickly if there is a strong wind blowing.
If you are near a fire, stay inside with windows closed and follow instructions from local emergency services immediately.
