Green forest fire notification in South Sudan

On 18/10/2026, a forest fire started in South Sudan, until 22/10/2026.

In plain language

A forest fire was reported in South Sudan between October 18 and October 22, 2026. This is a low-severity event, meaning it is smaller and less intense than most major wildfires.

What is a wildfire? A wildfire is an unplanned fire that burns in natural areas like forests or grasslands. These fires often start during dry weather when a spark from lightning or human activity hits dry wood or grass. Wind can then push the flames across the land, helping the fire grow and move quickly.

Keep your windows closed to block out smoke and have a small bag packed with essentials in case you need to move quickly.
