In plain language

A forest fire was confirmed in Zambia between October 13 and October 18, 2026. This is a level 2 event, which means it is a smaller fire that local authorities are monitoring closely.

What is a wildfire? A wildfire is an unplanned fire that burns in natural areas like forests or grasslands. They usually start when very dry plants meet a heat source, like lightning or a spark. Once the fire finds dry wood and leaves to use as fuel, it can spread quickly across the landscape.

Stay indoors with windows and doors closed to protect your lungs from breathing in any smoke from the fire.
