What is a wildfire? A wildfire is an unplanned fire that burns in natural areas like forests or grasslands. It usually starts from a heat source, like lightning or human activity, and spreads when dry plants act as fuel. Wind and warm weather can help the fire grow by moving it across the land.
Keep windows and doors closed to block out smoke, and follow instructions from local authorities regarding the safest travel routes.
