Green forest fire notification in Zambia

On 11/10/2026, a forest fire started in Zambia, until 20/10/2026.

In plain language

A forest fire has been confirmed in Zambia during the middle of October 2026. It is currently rated at a low severity level, which means officials are monitoring the situation closely.

What is a wildfire? A wildfire is an unplanned fire that burns through natural areas like forests or grasslands. They often start from lightning strikes or human activity. When the weather is very dry and windy, plants and wood become fuel, allowing the flames to spread across the landscape.

If you are near the fire, stay indoors with windows closed to keep the air inside your home clean and safe.
