What is a wildfire? A wildfire is an unplanned fire that burns in natural areas like forests or grasslands. They often start during dry weather from lightning strikes or human activity. These fires spread by burning through dry plants, wood, and leaves, especially when fueled by warm temperatures and strong winds.
Stay indoors with windows and doors closed to keep the air clean, and always follow the directions of local emergency services.
