In plain language

A forest fire was confirmed in Zambia between October 19 and 22, 2026. This is considered a moderate event, meaning authorities are watching it closely to keep everyone safe.

What is a wildfire? A wildfire is an unplanned fire that burns through natural areas like forests or grasslands. It happens when dry plants, oxygen, and a heat source—like lightning or a spark—come together. These fires can spread fast when it is hot, dry, and windy outside, changing the landscape as they go.

Keep windows and doors shut to keep smoke out of your home, and always have a family emergency bag ready just in case.
