What is a wildfire? Wildfires are unplanned fires that burn through natural areas like forests or grasslands. They usually start when dry plants catch fire from lightning or human activity. When the weather is hot and windy, these fires use dry wood and leaves as fuel to spread across the landscape.
Stay indoors to avoid breathing in smoke and listen to local news for official updates and evacuation instructions.
