Green forest fire notification in Australia

On 16/09/2026, a forest fire started in Australia, until 17/09/2026.

In plain language

A forest fire has been confirmed in parts of Australia starting on September 16, 2026. This event is listed at a level two severity, meaning authorities are monitoring and managing it closely.

What is a wildfire? A wildfire is an unplanned fire that burns through natural areas like forests or grasslands. They usually form when a heat source, like lightning or a spark, meets dry plants and oxygen. Once started, these fires can move quickly if there is plenty of dry fuel and wind to carry them.

Keep your home's windows closed to stay safe from smoke and always follow the directions of local emergency services.
