What is a wildfire? A wildfire is an unplanned fire that burns through natural areas like forests or grasslands. They often start from lightning or human activity when the weather is dry. These fires spread by feeding on dry plants and wood, especially when it is windy, which helps the flames move across the land.

Stay indoors to avoid breathing in smoke and always follow the directions provided by your local emergency services and fire departments.
