In plain language

A forest fire has been confirmed in Zambia between September 16 and 19, 2026. This event is currently rated at a moderate severity level as it moves through the forest area.

What is a wildfire? A wildfire is an uncontrolled fire that burns through wildland vegetation like forests or grasslands. These fires often start during dry seasons when hot weather or lightning ignites parched plants. Once it begins, wind and dry fuel can help the flames spread across the landscape until they are extinguished.

If you are near the fire, stay indoors and keep your windows closed to protect your family from breathing in smoke.
