In plain language

A forest fire has been confirmed in Australia, beginning on October 20, 2026. This is rated as a severity level 2 event, meaning it is a moderate fire that experts are monitoring closely.

What is a wildfire? A wildfire is an unplanned fire that burns in natural areas like forests or grasslands. It starts when fuel, like dry leaves and wood, meets a heat source like lightning or a spark. If the weather is hot, dry, and windy, these fires can spread across the landscape very quickly.

Keep all windows and doors closed to keep smoke out of your home, and always follow the directions of local emergency services.
