What is a wildfire? A wildfire is an unplanned fire that burns through natural areas like forests or grasslands. These fires form when a heat source, such as lightning or a human spark, meets dry fuel like grass and wood. If the weather is dry and windy, the flames can spread across the landscape.

If you live nearby, keep windows closed to block out smoke and always follow the directions given by local emergency services.
