In plain language

A forest fire has been confirmed in Zimbabwe, lasting for several days in mid-October. This event is currently categorized at a moderate severity level, which means officials are monitoring the situation carefully.

What is a wildfire? A wildfire is an unplanned fire that burns through natural areas like forests or grasslands. It usually forms when a heat source, like lightning or a campfire, meets dry plants and wood. Once it starts, wind and oxygen help the flames spread across the landscape.

If you are in an affected area, stay indoors with windows closed to keep out smoke and always follow instructions from local authorities.
