What is a wildfire? A wildfire is an uncontrolled fire that burns through wild areas like forests or grasslands. It starts when heat, like lightning or a spark, meets dry plants and oxygen. These fires can spread quickly as the wind pushes flames across dry leaves, trees, and bushes, which act as fuel.
Stay indoors with windows and doors shut to keep out smoke, and always follow the instructions given by local emergency services.
