What is a wildfire? A wildfire is an unplanned fire that burns in natural areas like forests or grasslands. They often start during hot, dry weather when a spark from lightning or human activity hits dry plants. Once started, the fire can spread quickly by using dry leaves and wood as fuel.
If you are near a fire, stay indoors with windows closed to avoid breathing smoke and follow all directions from local authorities.
