In plain language

A forest fire has been confirmed in South Sudan, beginning in mid-October 2026. Experts have labeled this a moderate event and are tracking its progress carefully.

What is a wildfire? A wildfire is an unplanned fire that burns in natural areas like forests or grasslands. They often start when the weather is very dry and hot, sometimes sparked by lightning or human activity. These fires can spread quickly by burning through dry plants, bushes, and trees that act as fuel.

If smoke is nearby, stay indoors and keep windows closed to help keep the air inside your home clean and safe to breathe.
