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 wood or leaves meet a heat source, like lightning or a spark. While they occur naturally in many ecosystems, dry weather and wind can cause them to spread across large distances.

Stay indoors to keep your lungs safe from smoke and always follow the evacuation routes provided by local safety officials.
