What is a wildfire? A wildfire is an unplanned fire that burns through natural areas like forests or grasslands. They often start from lightning strikes or human activities during hot, dry weather. When the ground is covered in dry leaves and wood, even a small spark can grow quickly into a large blaze that moves with the wind.

Keep your windows closed to block out smoke and follow all instructions from local fire departments or park rangers.
