In plain language

A forest fire has been confirmed in Australia, lasting from October 7 to October 12, 2026. Officials have rated this as a level 2 severity event, which means it is a serious situation being closely monitored.

What is a wildfire? A wildfire is an uncontrolled fire that burns through natural areas like forests or grasslands. It forms when heat, such as lightning or a campfire, meets dry fuel like wood and leaves. Once it starts, wind and hot weather can help the fire spread quickly across the land.

Keep your windows and doors closed to block out smoke, and always follow the instructions given by local emergency services.
