What is a wildfire? A wildfire is an uncontrolled fire that burns through natural areas like forests or fields. These fires need three things to burn: heat, oxygen, and fuel like dry grass or wood. They often start during hot, dry weather and can be sparked by lightning or human actions.
If smoke is nearby, stay indoors with windows and doors closed to keep the air inside clean and breathable.
