In plain language

A wildfire was confirmed in Botswana starting on September 14, 2026. This is currently listed as a low-severity event that experts are monitoring closely.

What is a wildfire? A wildfire is an unplanned fire that burns through natural areas like forests or brush. It happens when a heat source—like lightning or a spark—meets dry plants and oxygen. These fires can spread quickly across the landscape, especially during dry seasons when the vegetation acts as fuel.

Stay indoors with windows closed to keep your air clean and always follow the instructions of local emergency services.
