What is a wildfire? A wildfire is an unplanned fire that burns in wild areas like forests or grasslands. These fires often start during very dry weather when plants become fuel. All it takes is a single spark from lightning or a campfire to set dry leaves and trees ablaze, especially when it is windy.
Stay indoors to avoid breathing smoke and keep your windows closed. Always follow the instructions provided by your local fire department and emergency services.
