What is a wildfire? A wildfire is an uncontrolled fire that burns through wild vegetation like forests, grasslands, or shrubs. These fires often start from natural causes like lightning or human activities. They need three things to burn: heat, oxygen, and fuel like dry leaves or wood, especially during hot and windy weather.

If you are near a fire, stay indoors, keep windows closed to block smoke, and follow local news for updates on safe evacuation routes.
