Green forest fire notification in Zimbabwe

On 13/10/2026, a forest fire started in Zimbabwe, until 17/10/2026.

In plain language

A forest fire has been confirmed in Zimbabwe, occurring between October 13 and October 17, 2026. It is rated at severity level two, which means it is an active fire being tracked by monitors.

What is a wildfire? A wildfire is an unplanned fire that burns through natural areas like forests or grasslands. They often start when the weather is hot and dry, sometimes triggered by lightning or human activity. Once a fire begins, dry leaves and wood act as fuel, allowing the flames to spread quickly across the landscape.

If you are near a forest fire, stay indoors to avoid breathing smoke and always follow instructions from local authorities.
