Canada's independent wildfire intelligence platform

Wildfire information in Canada is published by many provincial, territorial, federal, and satellite sources. FireRadar brings that context together so people can understand what is burning, what has changed, and what it may mean near a place that matters to them.

Our priorities are clarity, source transparency, practical mobile design, reliable monitoring, and honest communication about the limits of the data. 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.

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.

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.

FireRadar provides informational monitoring and alerts for general awareness and map context. It 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.

The current focus is a fast, free public map with authoritative incident context, address-based intelligence, historical change, shareable locations, transparent coverage, and dependable monitoring across mobile and desktop.

FireRadar Plus is the best way to support FireRadar. Plus adds Wildfire Watch, expanded monitoring, more Saved capacity, and other account features while the public wildfire map remains free.

One-time contributions are optional and do not unlock FireRadar Plus or change the public wildfire information you receive.
