Before active fire conditions
Prepare for wildfire season
Use official outlook, drought, Fire Danger, and restriction information to understand the conditions developing before a major incident is nearby.
FireRadarLoading wildfire map
FireRadar maps current official wildfires across Canada, with status, update times and perimeters where available. Separate layers show recently extinguished fires, smoke forecasts, AQHI observations, satellite hotspots and CWFIS national data. Source update times remain separate from FireRadar check times because authorities update on different schedules.
These totals use the latest confirmed records available from connected provincial and territorial wildfire agencies. Natural Resources Canada records and NASA FIRMS satellite hotspots are counted separately. 1 source is using last confirmed records because current updates are unavailable. Latest reported source update: .
Wildfire information across Canada
For the 2026 wildfire season, FireRadar maps provincial and territorial wildfire records across Canada. Search an address or community to see current fires alongside clearly labelled smoke forecasts, satellite hotspots and AQHI observations.
Find preparedness guidance or review past wildfire activity.
Use official outlook, drought, Fire Danger, and restriction information to understand the conditions developing before a major incident is nearby.
View official wildfires and smoke for a place, then add an important location to your dashboard. Forecasts, observations and satellite hotspots remain clearly labelled.
Review recorded changes and past seasons. FireRadar clearly labels its own observations and imported historical records.
Start with current official wildfire information, Canada-wide totals, or a provincial or territorial map.
Check nearby fires, smoke, Fire Danger and restrictions around a home, cabin, community, campsite or route.
Review today's wildfire changes, then use FireRadar history and playback to look beyond the current map.
FireRadar provides public wildfire information but is not an emergency authority. It does not replace official emergency notices, road closures, air-quality advisories, local restrictions, or instructions from emergency officials. For urgent decisions, follow the responsible provincial, territorial, municipal, First Nations, or emergency-management authority.
Questions and answers
The FireRadar Canada fire map shows available provincial and territorial wildfire records. It can also show separately labelled national records, recent out or extinguished fires, satellite hotspots, smoke forecasts and AQHI observations. These layers remain separate because they describe different kinds of information.
FireRadar checks connected wildfire sources regularly, but each agency publishes on its own schedule. Use the source update time shown on the map to judge how current a record is. Where available, FireRadar also shows when it last checked the source.
FireRadar updates regularly, but it is not an instantaneous emergency feed. It cannot show a change before the responsible source publishes it. Always use the source update time and follow official authorities during an emergency.
No. NASA FIRMS VIIRS hotspots are satellite-detected heat signals. They can add context, but they are not confirmed wildfire incidents, fire perimeters, emergency zones or official fire counts.
