A forest fire has been confirmed in parts of Senegal and Mali between October 24 and October 27, 2026. This is a level 2 event, meaning it is a serious fire that local authorities are actively monitoring.

What is a wildfire? Wildfires are unplanned fires that burn through natural areas like forests and savannas. They happen when dry grass or trees catch fire from heat, lightning, or human activity. Once a fire starts, wind and dry weather can help it spread quickly across the land, clearing out old plants.

Stay indoors with windows closed to keep out smoke, and always have a bag ready with essentials in case you need to move quickly.
