What is a wildfire? A wildfire is an unplanned fire that burns through natural areas like forests or grasslands. These fires usually start when dry plants catch fire from lightning or human activities. Once ignited, wind and hot weather can help the flames spread across the landscape, especially when the ground is very dry.
If you are nearby, stay indoors to avoid breathing in smoke and carefully follow the instructions provided by local authorities and park rangers.
