In plain language

What is a wildfire? A wildfire is an unplanned fire that burns in wild areas like forests or grasslands. They often start when the weather is very hot and dry, sometimes caused by a lightning strike or human activity. Once a fire starts, wind and dry plants act as fuel, helping the flames spread across the landscape.

If you are near a wildfire, stay indoors with windows closed to keep the air clean and follow instructions from local safety officials.
