A forest fire has been confirmed in Mali, lasting from October 12 to October 17, 2026. This event is listed at severity level 2, meaning it is a significant fire but not at the most extreme level.

What is a wildfire? A wildfire is an unplanned fire that spreads through wild areas like forests or grasslands. These fires form when a heat source, such as lightning or a stray spark, meets dry fuel like grass and wood. Once started, they use oxygen and dry plants to grow and move across the landscape.

If smoke is in the air, stay indoors with windows closed and always follow instructions from local emergency services.
