In plain language

A forest fire was confirmed in Zimbabwe starting on October 22, 2026. It is rated at a moderate severity level and is expected to continue for several days.

What is a wildfire? A wildfire is an unplanned fire that burns through natural areas like forests or brush. These fires form when a heat source, such as lightning or a campfire, meets dry plants and plenty of oxygen. Once they start, they can spread quickly, especially if the weather is hot, dry, and windy.

Stay inside to avoid breathing in smoke and follow the instructions of local fire officials to stay safe.
