What is a wildfire? A wildfire is an unplanned fire that burns through natural areas like forests or grasslands. They often start from lightning strikes or human activity. These fires spread quickly during hot, dry weather, using trees and dried plants as fuel to move across the landscape.

If you are in the area, stay indoors and keep windows closed to protect your lungs from breathing in smoke.
