In plain language

A forest fire was confirmed in Mozambique during mid-October 2026. It is rated as a severity level 2, meaning it is a moderate event being tracked by experts.

What is a wildfire? A wildfire is an unplanned fire that burns through wild areas like forests or grasslands. These fires often start when the weather is very dry, triggered by lightning or human activity. Once a spark meets dry plants, the fire can spread quickly if there is enough wind and wood to feed it.

If you are near a fire, stay indoors to avoid breathing smoke and follow all instructions from local authorities.
