In plain language

A forest fire was confirmed in Mozambique starting on October 10, 2026. It is a level 2 event, which means it is a moderate fire being tracked by local experts.

What is a wildfire? A wildfire is an unplanned fire that burns through natural areas like forests or fields. These fires often start when dry plants catch fire from lightning or human activity. Once a fire begins, heat, oxygen, and dry fuel like wood or grass keep it growing and spreading.

If you are near the fire, keep windows closed to block out smoke and follow all directions from local emergency officials.
