In plain language

A forest fire has been confirmed in Mozambique, occurring between October 6 and October 12, 2026. This is rated as a low-severity event, which means it is being carefully monitored by experts.

What is a wildfire? A wildfire is an unplanned fire that burns through natural areas like forests or fields. It starts when a heat source, like lightning or a spark, meets dry plants and plenty of oxygen. These fires can spread fast if the weather is hot, dry, and windy, helping the flames travel across the land.

Always follow the advice of local officials and keep windows closed to protect your lungs from smoke and ash in the air.
