On 21/10/2026, a forest fire started in Australia, until 23/10/2026.

In plain language

A forest fire has been confirmed in Australia during late October 2026. It is currently rated at a moderate severity level, which means experts are keeping a close eye on it to ensure everyone stays safe.

What is a wildfire? A wildfire is an uncontrolled fire that burns in wildland areas like forests or grasslands. It happens when three things come together: heat, oxygen, and fuel like dry grass or wood. These fires often start from lightning or human activity and can spread quickly when it is windy or very dry.

Create a family emergency plan and pack a 'go bag' with essentials like water, snacks, and important documents just in case.
