In plain language

A forest fire has been confirmed in Mozambique, starting on September 13th and continuing for several days. This event is listed as moderate severity, meaning local experts are carefully monitoring the situation.

What is a wildfire? A wildfire is an unplanned fire that burns through natural areas like forests or grasslands. It usually starts from a heat source, such as lightning or human activity, and needs fuel like dry plants to grow. These fires can spread quickly when the weather is very windy and the ground is dry.

If smoke is nearby, stay indoors with windows closed and listen to local authorities for updates on safety and air quality.
