In plain language

What is a wildfire? A wildfire is an unplanned fire that burns through natural areas like forests or grasslands. These fires often start during dry weather when a spark from lightning or human activity meets dry plants. The fire then uses those plants as fuel to grow and spread across the landscape.

Stay indoors with windows and doors closed to keep out smoke, and always follow the instructions given by local emergency services.
