Green forest fire notification in Malawi

On 15/10/2026, a forest fire started in Malawi, until 28/10/2026.

In plain language

A forest fire has been confirmed in Malawi during late October 2026. This is a level 2 event, meaning it is being monitored closely while crews work to manage the situation.

What is a wildfire? A wildfire is an unplanned fire that burns through natural areas like forests or grasslands. They usually start when hot weather dries out plants, making them easy to catch fire from a spark or lightning. Wind can then help the flames move quickly across the landscape.

Stay indoors to avoid breathing smoke and keep windows closed. Always listen to local officials for the latest safety updates and evacuation routes.
