Green forest fire notification in Malawi

On 13/10/2026, a forest fire started in Malawi, until 25/10/2026.

In plain language

A confirmed forest fire is burning in parts of Malawi through late October 2026. This is a level 2 event, which means it is a moderate fire being monitored by local authorities.

What is a wildfire? A wildfire is an unplanned fire that burns through natural areas like forests or grasslands. These fires form when a heat source, such as lightning or a campfire, meets dry fuel like wood and leaves. Once started, wind and warm weather can help the flames spread quickly across the landscape.

If smoke is in the air, stay indoors with windows closed and follow instructions from local safety officials immediately.
