The Volcanoes National Park was affected by a wildfire that began to be observed on the morning of August 14, 2026, in Cyanika Sector, Nyagahinga Cell, in the forest on Mount Muhabura in Burera District.
The fire caused concern among nearby residents, particularly because it was seen in the upper part of the mountain, an area that is difficult to access and where extinguishing the fire is challenging.
