What is a wildfire? A wildfire is an unplanned fire that burns through natural areas like forests or grasslands. These fires usually start during hot, dry weather when a spark from lightning or human activity hits dry plants. Once started, wind can help the fire spread quickly by carrying heat to new trees and bushes.
Stay indoors with windows closed to avoid breathing smoke, and always follow instructions from local authorities if they ask you to leave the area.
