California Wildfires

A wildfire is an unplanned fire that burns in a natural area such as a forest. Wildfires are often caused by human activity or a natural phenomenon such as lightning. The risk of wildfires increases in dry conditions such as drought and during high winds. Wildfires can disrupt transportation, communications, power, and water supplies. They can lead to air quality concerns, and loss of property, crops, animals, and people.
