What is a wildfire? A wildfire is an unplanned fire that burns in natural areas like forests or grasslands. It needs three things to grow: fuel like dry leaves, oxygen from the air, and a heat source like lightning or a spark. These fires can move very quickly when the weather is hot, dry, and windy.
Keep your windows and doors closed to block out smoke, and listen to local news for updates and instructions from emergency workers.
