In plain language

A forest fire has been confirmed in Mozambique, lasting for about a week in mid-September. This is a moderate event, and local officials are monitoring the area to keep people safe.

What is a wildfire? A wildfire is an unplanned fire that burns through natural areas like forests or grasslands. They usually start when heat, such as lightning or a human spark, meets dry plants and wind. Once it begins, the fire spreads by feeding on dry leaves, wood, and brush as fuel.

If you are near a fire, stay indoors with windows closed to keep the air inside clean and free from smoke.
