Quick Answer
A wildfire is an uncontrolled fire that burns in natural vegetation such as forests, grasslands, or shrublands.
The Full Story
Wildfires spread when fuel, oxygen, and dry conditions align, and they can be started by lightning or human activity. Wind, steep terrain, and heat can make them move rapidly and create dangerous fire behavior. Some ecosystems depend on fire for regeneration, but climate change, land use, and accumulated fuel can increase the severity of modern fires. Wildfires can also cause smoke pollution over vast areas and trigger evacuations.
