What is a wildfire? A wildfire is an unplanned fire that burns in wild areas like forests or grasslands. They often start from dry weather, lightning, or human activity. Once a fire begins, it can spread quickly by using dry leaves, branches, and grass as fuel to keep growing.

Stay indoors to avoid breathing in smoke and follow the instructions of local authorities to stay safe.
