Green forest fire notification in Mozambique

On 07/10/2026, a forest fire started in Mozambique, until 16/10/2026.

In plain language

A forest fire was confirmed in Mozambique between October 7 and October 16, 2026. This is a low-severity event, meaning it is smaller or less intense than many major wildfires.

What is a wildfire? A wildfire is an uncontrolled fire that burns through wild vegetation like forests or grasslands. It usually starts from a heat source, such as lightning or human activity, combined with fuel like dry leaves and plenty of oxygen. Once it begins, wind and dry weather help the flames spread across the landscape.

If you live near a fire area, stay inside with windows closed to keep the air clean and follow advice from local authorities.
