In plain language

A forest fire has been confirmed in Zimbabwe between October 13 and October 19, 2026. This is a level two event, meaning authorities are monitoring the situation carefully to manage its impact.

What is a wildfire? A wildfire is an unplanned fire that burns in natural areas like forests or grasslands. They often start when the weather is very dry and hot, combined with fuel like dead leaves. A single spark from lightning or human activity can cause these fires to spread quickly across the landscape.

If you are nearby, keep windows closed to block out smoke and follow local news for instructions on when it is safe to stay.
