In plain language

A forest fire was reported in Mozambique between October 15 and 18, 2026. This is currently rated as a low-severity event, meaning it is a smaller fire that experts are keeping an eye on.

What is a wildfire? A wildfire is an unplanned fire that burns through natural areas like forests or grasslands. It starts when a heat source, like lightning or a spark, meets dry fuel such as grass and leaves. These fires can spread quickly if the weather is windy and the ground is very dry.

Stay inside and keep windows closed to breathe cleaner air, and always follow the directions of local fire officials.
