An independent Canadian wildfire intelligence platform

Wildfire information in Canada comes from many provincial, territorial, federal, and satellite sources. FireRadar brings official data together for a unified map, monitoring, alerts and historical information. It labels sources clearly so people can see reported wildfire activity, what has changed, and what is happening near a place they care about.

FireRadar labels its sources, works on mobile and explains when information is limited. The core national map remains free.

FireRadar.ca is designed and operated in Canada by Canadians. It is an independent product and is not operated by, endorsed by, or affiliated with any government, wildfire agency, emergency service, or source provider.

Official provincial and territorial wildfire records are the required source for current incident markers. CWFIS national data is reserved for reference or historical context. Satellite hotspots remain separate from official incident records.

Provincial and territorial wildfire records, national reference data and satellite detections are different kinds of information. FireRadar labels them separately and does not present satellite hotspots as confirmed wildfires.

We aim to reproduce source information accurately and refresh the map regularly. However, public feeds can be delayed, incomplete, unavailable, corrected after publication, or different from what appears on another official map.

When something looks wrong, users can report it through the Feedback page. We review credible corrections and source suggestions as the project evolves.

FireRadar documents how it selects sources, separates unlike datasets, handles unavailable information, preserves timestamp meaning, uses automation, and corrects errors. These rules are published in the Editorial & Data Standards.

The underlying wildfire authorities remain responsible for their official records. FireRadar's Canadian wildfire data sources page identifies the agency or dataset behind each supported layer.

Wildfire Watch dashboards, focused Alerts and their notifications are for general situational awareness. FireRadar is not an emergency authority or emergency notification system and must not replace official emergency notices, local authorities, or official wildfire agencies.

For urgent safety decisions, always use the official sources responsible for your location.

Explore the free public wildfire map and local search, smoke forecasts, observed air quality, available wildfire history, and supported fire restrictions, Fire Danger, evacuation notices and highway information. Coverage varies by source and location; source labels, timestamps and limitations help explain what is available.

My FireRadar adds a location-based Wildfire Watch dashboard, focused Alerts and passive Saved bookmarks. A Saved bookmark does not create monitoring or send notifications. Preparedness guides provide additional non-emergency context.

The map is designed for use before, during and after active wildfire conditions on mobile and desktop.

Review source coverage and service status, or prepare a correction or feedback email.
