On 15/09/2026, a forest fire started in Tanzania, until 17/09/2026.

In plain language

A forest fire has been confirmed in Tanzania between September 15th and 17th, 2026. This is currently rated as a low-severity event, meaning it is less intense than major disasters.

What is a wildfire? A wildfire is an unplanned fire that burns in natural areas like forests or grasslands. It happens when fuel, like dry leaves or wood, meets a heat source such as lightning or a campfire. If the weather is dry and windy, these fires can spread quickly across the landscape.

Stay indoors if you smell smoke and keep windows closed to protect your lungs from breathing in small ash particles.
