- Wildfires are unplanned, unwanted fire burning in a natural area, such as a forest, grassland, or prairie. Most forest fires in the Inland Northwest are ignited by lightning. Many rangeland and wheat field fires are also started by lightning.
- Wildfires can damage natural resources, destroy homes, and threaten the safety of the public and the firefighters who protect forests and communities. It is important to know the terms used to describe changing fire conditions and what actions to take.
Determine the severity of fire danger. Evacuate when instructed to avoid being trapped by advancing fire. Listen closely to emergency reports and take appropriate action.
