On 23/10/2026, a forest fire started in Botswana, until 25/10/2026.

In plain language

A forest fire was confirmed in Botswana between October 23rd and 25th, 2026. It is rated as a low-severity 'green' alert, meaning it is a smaller fire that experts are watching closely.

What is a wildfire? A wildfire is an uncontrolled fire that burns through natural areas like forests or brush. They usually start when a heat source, like a lightning strike or a spark, meets dry wood and grass. Once it begins, wind and hot weather can help the fire travel and grow by providing more fuel.

If you are in the area, stay indoors to avoid breathing smoky air and keep windows closed to protect your home’s air quality.
