Wildfire information, made easier to understand
FireRadar.ca is an independent Canadian-built project created to make wildfire information easier to find, compare, and share across Canada.
Our purpose
Wildfire information in Canada is published by many provincial, territorial, federal, and satellite sources. FireRadar brings that context together in one straightforward map so people can quickly understand what is happening near a place that matters to them.
Our priorities are clarity, source transparency, practical mobile design, and honest communication about the limits of the data.
Built in Canada
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.
How the map uses data
Where available, FireRadar displays direct official provincial and territorial wildfire feeds. It may also provide optional national fallback records and separate satellite hotspot context.
Official incident records, fallback records, and satellite detections are different kinds of information. FireRadar labels them separately and does not present satellite hotspots as confirmed wildfires.
Accuracy and transparency
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.
Not an emergency service
FireRadar is for general awareness and map context. It is not an emergency alerting system and must not replace evacuation orders, emergency notifications, local authorities, or official wildfire agencies.
For urgent safety decisions, always use the official sources responsible for your location.
Our current focus
The current focus is a fast, free public map with useful fire cards, address-based context, shareable locations, clear source details, and a consistent experience across mobile and desktop.
